Completion of STEAM Training Series for Teachers in the Southern Directorates
Teach for Palestine, in partnership with the Ministry of Education and the National Institute for Educational Training, completed a specialized STEAM training series targeting 20 newly appointed teachers from the southern education directorates. The program consisted of 10 in-person training sessions, totaling 60 training hours.
The training aimed to strengthen teachers' competencies in integrating the STEAM approach into classroom practice while enhancing active learning, critical, creative, and inquiry-based thinking skills. It also focused on developing teachers' capacities in creative problem solving, content analysis, authentic assessment, the integration of 21st-century skills, and the use of educational technology, including the Edison Robot, to design engaging and interactive learning experiences.
The training featured intensive hands-on activities that enabled participants to design lesson plans, learning activities, and assessment tools aligned with the STEAM approach. These practical experiences are expected to support the transfer of learning into schools and contribute to improving the quality of education in the early grades, in line with a shared vision of preparing teachers to meet the demands of modern education.
It is worth noting that Teach for Palestine is committed to providing quality education for Palestinian students in the early primary grades by strengthening the capacities of newly appointed teachers in inclusive education, life skills, digital learning, STEAM methodology, psychosocial support, and climate education. The organization also works to enhance classroom learning environments by providing educational resources and technological equipment to partner schools.
