The presentation was used as an introduction of the SEAL Programme at the workshop on the revision of the Cambodian curriculum for teacher training of lower secondary education.
2. Outline presentation SEAL Programme Structure Target groups From pilot stage… To mainstreaming stage Learning materials Manuals Trainings & Follow-up
3. SEAL Program structure Improvement of the pre-service teacher training for Science education, and Environmental/Agricultural Life skills at Regional Teacher Training Colleges”. Science Environmental Life skills Agricultural Life skills Resource Center (ICT) SEAL Science education, Environmental & Agricultural Life skills
4. Target groups SEAL Programme Relationship between VVOB, the direct and indirect target groups
5. From pilot stage… Needs assessment Capacity building plan Selection of innovative concepts Introduction to technical working groups Selection, localization and try-outs Pre-mainstreaming workshops for teachers Fine-tuning and final adjustments Planning and preparing roll-out Capacity building activities
6. …To mainstreaming phase Train ToT team & develop ToTmanuals Material publication & distribution Capacity & knowledge transfer to other RTTCs Consolidation: Follow-up and coaching Dissemination through web portal Monitoring & Evaluation
7. Mainstreaming phase We will help you…adopting a more student-centered approach Educational materials Quality manuals Trainings Follow-up visits
8. Materials: Science posters Aligned with curriculum Ca. 230 posters Also in smaller format for group work Activity sheet per poster
10. Materials: Teaching aids Simple equipment can help making lessons more student-centered Games Voting Cards Cards for classification activities Concept cartoons

17. Training activities 2011 Mainstreaming workshop VVOB SEAL – JICA STEPSAM2 (7 days, 3.5 days facilitated by VVOB, September) Preparation with ToT team for subsequent workshops Distribution science poster package to RTTCs (with short orientation activity) 2011
18. Training activities 2012 Workshop “SCA for Science Education” (2 x 5 days, January) Tools for student-centered science teaching Model lesson plans Workshop per subject (4 * 5 days) Experiments Animations & Simulations Subject-specific techniques & tools (like games & posters) Inquiry-based lesson & lesson study (w/ STEPSAM2) RTTC-based INSET trainings (w/ Stepsam2) 2012
Moreover, an extra opportunity to strengthen the M&E processes of TTD lieswithin the Teacher Development Master Plan that aims to train 280 new inspectors in a five yearperiod by 2014.
TTD will also be responsible for the dissemination of educational materials in print as well as digitallearning objects through a web-portal.
A comprehensive set of posters is developed together with the teacher trainers. Selection was based on concrete demands. The set will be used and evaluated during the pilot phase. Each poster has an activity sheet consisting of background, activities, tips…
TTD will assume final responsibility for the integrationof the developed materials and trainings in their professional development planning and processes.
Target group: science teacher trainers and ?? Selected teachers from practice schools.Challenge: to train and monitor teachers from practice schools.1. Selection of tools & experiments for inquiry-based science teaching
Target group: science teacher trainers and ?? Selected teachers from practice schools.Challenge: to train and monitor teachers from practice schools.In addition, I'm considering if I can incorporate one more activity in the final year, which is “Subject-wise Study Group Meeting at RTTC” so that science teachers in cooperative schools get together subject-wise once a month at RTTC, share the difficulties in one’s teaching, and get practical ideas and academic support from RTTC trainers in charge of that subject.In my idea, all of these activities will be handled by a POE secondary office (with inspectors)in an integrated fashion.
The ToT team consists of a group of teacher trainers and teachers, appointed by the management ofthe partner institutes, and are selected from the pilot phase working groups. Input training is given bythe ToT team and materials, manuals etc. are disbursed. The composition of the ToT team will dependon the requirements for each training session with some sessions organised at a central location,preferably at the pilot TTC. The same ToT team will be responsible for the subsequent steps;
