Learning by doing
The two days were built around active, participatory methods rather than lectures. Teachers worked in small groups on project tasks, mapped their ideas on chart paper and presented their work to the wider group, experiencing as learners the same approaches they are expected to use in their own classrooms.
Feedback and reflection
Energisers and structured peer-feedback games were used to help participants give and receive feedback openly, an essential habit for reflective teaching practice.
The training reflects the NEWSTEP goal of strengthening digitally competent teachers and innovative pedagogy in Nepalese educational institutions, extending the project’s benefits from partner institutions out to the wider school community in Sindhuli.
