So two days of the TIA seminar have ended, with a lot already learned, discussed: new methods and skill, in general this year's workshops are all but fruitful. It is though tiresome and sometimes well, boring!
We are now busy creating portfolios; schemes of work, lesson plans, teaching materials and notes, just a hell lot of things.
This years' seminar also introduced a new technique for teacher preparation prior to class sessions called Topic Design Plan (TDP). Being a very novel idea in Tanzania education, and I hope am privileged to one of the few first in Tanzania to get it, proved hard to get it through and right. But life's is a never ending school so I hope even my colleagues who have been to job for long than I are benefiting from this new experience.
Another intersting and difficult part is the construction of a case study story suitable for practical use in our classes, challenging but well worth it!
Plato once said, 'We can easily forgive a child who's afraid of the dark, but the real tragedy of life is when men afraid the light.' I write about me, about people I like and admired, about what I do, what I see, and about where I live.
