Before the schools closed for their mid-term break the Brighter Futures team travelled to each of the classrooms on the programme to carry out spot checks. We use spot checks to monitor and support the implementation of the Transformational Teacher Training programme.

The teachers were busy implementing the new themes that were introduced during their last training workshop of the term, Handa’s Surprise for KG1 and Traditional Tales for KG2. The children have loved these themes, which all comes down to the exciting activities that the teachers have created in their classrooms. During the spot checks we were delighted to see the way that the teachers are increasingly using the outside areas during the school day- it is a perfect extension of the classroom and makes great use of the sunny Ghanaian weather!
