Teacher training
Five-day professional development workshops.
The KOR–Hoopoe training model was designed for groups of no more than 20 teachers. Participants practiced the strategies in the Teacher Guides and learned to use story reading, prediction, vocabulary, discussion, drawing, retelling, lesson planning, and assessment in the classroom.
- Improve literacy and higher-level thinking skills
- Introduce modern, child-centered teaching methods
- Restore positive cultural memory through Afghan stories
- Increase family and community involvement in literacy
Fun projects for home and school
Puppets, story retelling, and book-making.
Legacy resources include finger-puppet and paper-bag-puppet instructions in English, Dari, and Pashto for the Hoopoe characters.
