Trainees from KRCEE and Trainers from Curriculum Project
The majority of teachers who attended this training were experienced teachers so many of them have practiced the teaching skills and methods from this training in their classroom already. Although this training mainly would be helpful for new teachers, this training brought a good chance to all teachers from all over the camps to meet and share their teaching experiences from each other. New teachers had gained and learnt not from trainers but from experienced teachers as well. An ongoing observation and support for new teachers would be essential to help them to apply skills learned in this training to their classrooms.
Teacher Training in Khoe Kay, Karen State Thabyay Education Foundation's Curriculum Project also delivered a 5-day teacher training on the 25th- 29th of May 2015, covering two topics ‘Teaching Methodology and Trainers’ Skills’.
