FIRST GRADE APPROACH TRAINING

On August 22 and 23, 2020, at the Center for The Development of Binh Trieu, the Street Children’s Program (FFSC) with the support of australasia Social Impact Foundation (ASIF) organized a training session for 28 teachers of the program on first-grade teaching methods through a new textbook of the Ministry of Education and Training.

The training course is organized by Ms. Ta Thi Thu who is currently the Principal of I Can School (ICS). Ms. Thu shared an overview of the changes and reforms to the new General Education program for primary school age.

Besides, Thu also spends time with teachers to discuss and compare what changes the new program has, what are the advantages and limitations for teachers and students when approaching this program.

The new program meets the harmonious physical and mental development of children. This requires teachers to master the teaching method, how to use the curriculum to effectively teach. On the student side, they need to approach each step, practice skills quickly, have creative thinking autonomy. Two training sessions are really useful for teachers on how to communicate knowledge to students.

In the 2020-2021 school year, ASIF expects more training sessions for teachers to improve teaching methods.
