Innovative teaching techniques imparted at the BA
Posted on
Alexandria, 26 September 2005—The Bibliotheca Alexandrina (BA) in collaboration with Zero Emissions Research and Initiatives (ZERI) organization, is hosting a workshop entitled "Train the Trainers" by Professor Gunter Pauli, Founder of ZERI, within the nationwide education reform programs.
The workshop, conducted for four days, aims to train the candidates to teach children the tools to begin to think in "systems", to identify connections, and to think about science and math in innovative yet pragmatic ways.
Candidates will later adopt the role of "master trainers" that train other educators and assist in expanding the program throughout Egypt and the Middle East.
This initiative uses a series of short and simple stories—the traditional way of education—to introduce children to the concepts of science and mathematics, in addition to how to respect differences, how to rely on others and emotional intelligence. This science initiative also develops the awareness that learning is a lifelong process.
