PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Division In-Service Training for Grades 4 to 6 Teachers is a program designed to improve teachers' instructional practices with a comprehensive toolkit, empowering them to design engaging and welcoming learning spaces that support students' development of literacy and numeracy skills while stimulating higher-order thinking through the deliberate incorporation of ICT. The training is anchored on the PPST Domain 1- Content Knowledge and Pedagogy strand 3, 4 and 5 entitled positive use of ICT, strategies for promoting literacy and numeracy and strategies for developing critical and creative thinking, as well as other higher-order thinking skills, respectively. The training's literacy component is on helping teachers become more skilled at encouraging students' reading comprehension, fluency, and writing abilities. This entails investigating various methods for instructing students in literature, putting literacy-based activities into practice, and using technology to get students involved in worthwhile literacy practices. The numeracy component places equal emphasis on improving teachers' ability to teach mathematical ideas and problem-solving techniques. Teachers will gain knowledge on how to design engaging and dynamic math classes, incorporate practical applications, and use manipulatives to help students better understand abstract ideas. Participants will participate in group discussions, practical exercises, demonstration teaching, and reflective practices throughout the program. The intention is to equip educators with the know-how and resources needed to establish an engaging classroom that fosters students' literacy and numeracy growth and higher-order thinking skills through integration of ICT during the critical developmental stage that spans grades 4 through 6.
