Mrs. Shafiqa studies her notes during a USAID teacher training session. USAID is helping Afghanistan’s primary school teachers design better lessons for their students, and to deliver those lessons in a way that reaches students more effectively. More than 38,000 primary school educators in 11 provinces have received training on how to make their lessons interactive and to involve their students in the learning process. The training has already changed how teachers run their classrooms. Mrs. Shafiqa, a teacher at the Doaba Village Girls’ Primary School in Sari Pul, says, “Before attending this USAID training, I [did] not consider the attention and understanding of students in the class [to be] very important, but after I attended the training, I learned many methods to see if the students were understanding what is being taught.” Shafiqa, who teaches second grade, added, “One method I learned during training is intentionally to write words with incorrect spelling on the blackboard and then ask the students if they see errors and to correct those errors by themselves.”
