We are currently in full swing now preparing for next year’s teacher training conference programme in Kathmandu which will cover three specific areas, Educational Psychology, Teaching Tools & Techniques, and Subject Teaching (English & Maths). In addition however we will have another programme for Head Teachers initially to build on the skills and tools we gave them this year to create a vision for their schools and an improvement plan to meet the new government directives. This programme will focus on Values in an attempt to influence them even further about becoming more child centred in their approaches.
The Values Programme will begin with teaching and discussion about values and their impact on attitudes and behaviour generally before exploring the need for values based education within their schools. At this point we will introduce them to the techniques of P4C using the expertise of our UK teachers who are expert practitioners.
To extend the implementation of P4C in our 7 schools we have been searching for a source of materials which are accessible and appropriate for use by our Nepali teachers. This search led us to the website P4C.com and after an exchange of emails we were offered free access to all the materials for use in our schools (worth hundreds of £££) by Steve Williams which is a magnificent gesture.
So, a big thank you to Steve and P4C.com
