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.

Training

Dear colleagues, 

Hello. I know from your training plans and posts in this community that many of you have started training your colleagues with the program and some have already finished. How is it going? Are the participants enthusiastic? Are good discussions being generated? Any challenges to the success of the program? Are you and your colleagues having fun? 

I look forward to hearing . . .  

Warm regards and happy training, 

Dan

    Hi Daniel,
    This may seem a bit unorthodox, but I am training my students. Especially since I could not get the required form for training, in on time. I find the experience quite enlightening and I'm enjoying the process.

    I will do the teacher training, it's just that teachers are very busy individuals, including myself. Training my students is incorporated into my lesson this term, since I am teaching comprehension.

    Kind Regards,
