Eureka Learning Center Training

Yesterday about 30 teachers from 8 districts in Tamil Nadu came to Chennai for Ready to Read program training. They will be each be teaching the program in Eureka Learning Centers in local government schools in their districts. We covered the first three weeks of content, activities, curriculum, and evaluation. While we still don't have all the materials to give to them, they each took a flip and blend book, sentence cards, sight word cards, the plastic polythene hangers fort he cards, copies of the flashcards and picture cards, the 1st week of the activity workbook, a list of activities and the evaluation tool. Many of them had already started the program and were able to give us some feedback. However, because they are all still new to the content, most of the feedback concetrated on classroom management and general teaching strategy. This will be something we need to cover more of in our subsequent training. More pictures from the training to follow.
