Wednesday March 25, Day 3: Their Turn
Now that they were equipped with the teaching strategies, it was up to them to design posters and lesson plans that integrated environmental education with their subject speciality (English, science, agriculture, social studies and math). The posters were discussed and it was interesting to us to see how much constructive criticism was generated.
The day concluded with the three of us instructing them on how to be a good facilitator, which is the ultimate goal of the program: to teach Ugandan teachers so that they will teach their colleagues and so on and so on. Knowledge, compassion and action. Alissa and Ann demonstrated the difference between a good facilitator and a bad one. The session then ended with a role playing activity in which the teachers had to design short skits of situations they were likely to encounter while running their own workshop. The skits were entertaining and demonstrated their wonderful sense of humour.
