DIYUN, 14 Jun: More than 100 teachers from 30 government primary and upper primary schools benefitted from a five-day capacity building programme organised here recently in preparation for the 2023-’24 academic year.
During the programme, which focused on building the teachers’ capacity to effectively and efficiently teach lessons, the teachers received training on the use of teaching-learning materials (TLM), teachers’ handbook on foundational literacy and numeracy, classroom management, etc.
The programme covered four major areas of literacy and numeracy. In the literacy section, the main components comprised ‘speaking and listening’, ‘reading fluency’, ‘reading comprehension’ and ‘writing’, while the session on numeracy contained ‘pre-number concepts’, ‘number operation’, ‘shapes and spatial understanding’, ‘measurement’, and ‘data handling’.
The training programme was organised collaboratively by the Changlang district administration, the education department, and NGO India Foundation for Education Transformation.
Earlier, DC Sunny K Singh, who along with the DDSE attended the opening session, lamented “the poor performance of the district as indicated in the National Achievement Survey-2021 report and the learning levels study conducted by the ASER,” and urged the teachers to effectively use the TLMs and teaching manuals.
