Teacher Training & Coaching

• In Event: Implementing Pilot Early Grade Reading Program in Morocco

Proposal

Under the program, 41 trainers received specialized instruction on the phonemic approach. Now in 90 schools across eight provinces in Morocco, these trainers are building the capacity and skills of over 300 first and second grade teachers in this new teaching approach. In turn, these teachers are reaching over a thousand students who are learning to read in a new way.

The presentation will focus on how the training and follow-up teacher support in the pilot schools is being implemented within the MOE system. The presenter will describe the challenges faced in providing coaching support to teachers in a way that complies with the MOE coaching reform mandate, as well as the realities on the ground.
