As part of The US Embassy’s Book Bus’ Teacher Empower Program, I began the Everyday Science: Learn, to Teach; Teach, to Learn Science teacher workshops. Leading up to this, I was also involved in the 2017 Innovation in Education Fairs (IEF) in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Click here for a video of the workshop I conducted in the Pokhara edition of the fair.
Started on January 12, I have had two sessions of the workshop already, both of which I have enjoyed greatly! In this blog, I shall post links to the next series of blog posts containing details of the individual workshops and links to the resources I shared with the participants. In trying to decide how best to share some of the materials I used in the workshops with the participants, I realized blogging about them might be the best way to go about it. The reason being that others might find them useful.
While I work on the individual blogs about the workshops and populate this post with links to them, here are some links that you might find useful.
- Click here for a reproduction of the write-up published in the IEF brochure detailing some of the issues with Science teaching in Nepal and how it can be improved on greatly.
