Teacher Trainings

SIOs main focus is organizing, planning, and executing teacher-training workshops.The mission is to help teachers of primary and middle schools receive a college level seminar in Early Childhood Development and in hands-on science methodology targeting those teachers who have been unable to enroll in a formal teacher-training program.

Knowing that educated communities can rebuild a country, we are working towards supporting teachers so that they can rebuild their country, one student at a time. Our trainings, conducted throughout villages, cities and provinces in Afghanistan, are designed for elementary school science projects and hands-on lesson.  As the program has grown, so have the lessons and training that best meets the Afghan teachers needs.

Training Workshop Instruction includes:

• Child Development Research
• Learning Disabilities
• Hands-on Science Methodology and Activities
• How to use science supplies, equipment and local resources
• Overview of educational theories and teaching methodologies
• All aspects of science including earth, life, physical, investigation and experimentation

Every teacher is given a "training kit" for their classroom upon completion of the course. This includes a microscope, set of anatomy charts, magnifying glasses, set of x-rays, anatomy models, stationary and markers so they can share their knowledge of science with the students.
