Darjeeling Prerna with Broadleaf Health and Education Alliance is offering a free teacher training for rural primary schools.
Our TeaLeaF Programme helps teaches new strategies for classroom and behaviour management. Having started in 6 schools in 2018, and another 6 in 2019, now TeaLeaF wants to expand into a total of 46 schools. The team will be reaching out to schools in Bijanbari, Moonda, Rimbick, Mangpoo, Mirik, Sukhia and Tukdah in the coming months, offering a 3-day introductory course on strategies for classroom and behaviour management. The overall goal is to ensure every child can reach their full potential.
We want to hear from Low-Cost Private Schools in Rural Areas, especially in Mirik, Kurseong, and Tukdah. After the introductory 3-day course this year, schools will be offered the chance to send a number of teachers on the longer course in 2020 and 2021.
To be eligible schools must meet the following criteria. They should:
1) not receive government aid;
2) have at least 4 full-time teachers;
3) have total annual fees of Rs. 11,500 or less;
4) be located in Mirik, Kurseong or Darjeeling subdivision but outside the towns of Mirik, Kurseong and Darjeeling.
Principals and Directors of schools from these areas are encouraged to get in touch with us if they would like their teachers to be considered for a place in our next batch of trainees. The training is free and all the teachers’ expenses are covered by us. The only thing we ask of the school is that they give us their support and a little bit of their time. While we cannot guarantee that all schools will be accepted, we will do our best to reach as many as we can.
To find out more, please send an email to priscilla.giri@broadleafhea.org or send a message to Darjeeling Prerna on facebook.
Please share with any teachers and schools who may be interested.
