Critical Thinking for Teachers Audio Program Participants

“Critical Thinking for Teachers” is a series of interactive radio programs and podcasts for teachers in rural areas of OAS member states. These audio programs strengthen teachers’ ability to teach critical thinking skills in mathematics, literacy, science, and citizenship education. Woven into an entertaining drama series, the participatory lessons feature short pauses that allow teachers to respond to questions, partake in group discussions, write plans for their classes, and more. Participants learn practical skills to apply in the classroom immediately. The primary audience is teachers with little Internet access who teach 11- to 14-year-olds, but any teacher can benefit and anyone can participate.

Blessings Daniel,
I inadvertently submitted my form without including some valid information - like account number. Is there anyway I can get back the form to complete it?
Much thanks
Joann

Dear Colleagues,

URGENT. If you have not yet sent your vendor form with bank information, please do so today or by noon tomorrow. Due to internal procedures and the upcoming end-of-year holiday season, if we do not have the forms by then, payment may be delayed until mid- to late January. Thank you!!

Warm regards,

Dan

Dear Colleagues,

There have been a few questions regarding the timing of your responsibilities for the programme. The sequence is:

1. By November 28, have a supervisor observe you during a class in which you apply the critical thinking principles explored in the audio programme. Also recruit five or more colleagues with whom you will facilitate use of the programme and complete your training plan. Submit the observation form (with one or more comments; see my note below) and the training plan by November 28. This makes you eligible for the $250 stipend if you have been accepted to the program.

2. Complete the training of your colleagues and submit a report on the same by March 1, 2017. OAS will provide a template for the report by November 30. The report will make you eligible to receive your certificate of completion. The submitters of the top three reports will be featured in posts here in the ITEN Virtual Community and on ITEN social media. 

Thanks again for your participation,

Dan

Dear Colleagues,

We have begun receiving observation forms. Thank you for getting right to work on completing the project.

A few important tips:

1. Please note that the observation form asks you to attach the lesson plan for the lesson observed. This will help us note how you incorporated the critical thinking principles in the programme into your work.

2. Please ask your supervisor or other observer to include at least one comment in the comment section of the form. If the person does not have a specific comment about one of the eight observable items, he or she may comment generally about how well you incorporated critical thinking into the lesson. 

Both of these steps will help us get a better understanding of how you are using the programme. Thank you for helping us by providing it.
