Education in the COVID era

By Lorena Valencia | CEO

Following the global situation with the health crisis and the security measures taken by the government, Enseña por Panamá set out to work with the Ministry of National Education, other NGO's and organizations in the educational sector to offer a series of training and materials of learning for teachers and students across the country, with the main objective of preparing the general educational community with the pedagogical tools that will allow them to face the current challenges and those that we will see when the school calendar restarts. In this sense, the Enseña por Panamá team opened 3 digital training opportunities for teachers:

Five virtual sessions to learn about the “Preparation of Teaching Guides”. The sessions were held the first week of April and 415 teachers from all over Panama participated in the meetings.

Virtual training (total of 40 hours).
More than 160 teachers actively participated in all 22 virtual sessions
(face-to-face) that
we made from April 20 to 1
May, through which
they learned to make an at-distance learning toolkit and develop their
planning skills
strategically their classes,
develop reading comprehension and
socio-emotional skills in their students, and developing their own collective leadership skills to improve their impact inside and outside the classroom.
A survey was designed and applied in the last session of the course. A total of 151 participants responded. 96% of the participants stated that they were satisfied with the pedagogical experience offered in the course.

Anonymous testimonial: “I liked all the topics of the training, since it was dynamic and active. It got us thinking about the things we do in the classroom, because sometimes our classes don't have a logical sequence and we are frustrated that our students don't quickly grasp what we are teaching. With this course I relearned that I must rethink all my activities. ”
On April 28, we opened registrations again and 300 teachers registered to participate in the second version of the training "Didactic tools to innovate in the teaching role", which will continue to be carried out through Microsoft Teams and will begin on Monday, May 11. Enseña por Panamá will open new registration dates for virtual training every fortnight, with the aim of supporting as many teachers as possible.
