Teacher Training Programmes
Another
initiative towards education interventions was to build the capacity
of teachers from the area. Teachers were also equally traumatized
after the earthquake. These trainings equipped the teachers
to deal with traumatized children in the affected areas. Teachers
also got trained on participatory, interactive and joyful ways of
teaching.

Geographical
coverage:
Teachers from 8
education zones falling in districts Baramulla and Kupwara were
benefited through 13 trainings.
Methodology:
Tools and
techniques used to make the training programmes effective and
participatory
The training
module comprised of tips on identification of trauma symptoms and
some ways to minimize the impact; science of earthquakes, do’s and
don’ts; participatory teaching learning methodologies; ‘What, Why
and How’ of environment education etc. During these trainings
teachers got chance to lay hands on various activities that could be
done with the students to make the teaching meaningful and
participatory. Teachers were also exposed to various educational
games that could be used to break the monotony of the teaching and
create interest amongst the students for relatively difficult
topics. Teachers were apprised of the local environmental issues and
relevant teaching methodologies were dealt in detail during these
trainings. Teachers got practical experience by participating in
various activities and educational games.
