This is an idea for how we can work to improve the teacher training models which are currently being implemented in Cambodia, and many other places around the world.

1. BREAKING
THE PATTERN
Teacher Training
Supporting Motivated Teachers
And Promoting Impact

2. THE PROBLEM

3. THE PROBLEM
Almost every NGO and
Teacher Training Program
in Cambodia is…

4. PAYING $$$
people to attend
trainings

5. RIGHT
NOW:

6. RIGHT We are PAYING
NOW:
$

7. RIGHT We are PAYING
NOW:
$
zzz
Even if they
don’t pay
$
ATTENTION

8. RIGHT We are PAYING
NOW:
$
z zzz
SCHOOL
Or USE the Even if they
training don’t pay
$
ATTENTION

9. And if they don’t
use the training,
we STILL
pay them and
give more
training!

10. Current Pattern:

11. Current Pattern:
BENEFIT

12. Current Pattern:
(Don’t)
BENEFIT
LEARN

13. Current Pattern:
(Don’t) (Don’t)
BENEFIT
LEARN DO

14. We need to
CHANGE this
pattern.

15. A model based on IMPACT:

16. A model based on IMPACT:
LEARN

17. A model based on IMPACT:
LEARN DO

18. A model based on IMPACT:
LEARN DO BENEFIT

19. What might this
model look like?

20. It would need to benefit
and motivate all parties:

21. It would need to benefit
and motivate all parties:
Teachers

22. It would need to benefit
and motivate all parties:
Teachers Administrators

23. It would need to benefit
and motivate all parties:
Teachers Administrators
The District
Office Of
Education

24. It would need to benefit
and motivate all parties:
Teachers Administrators
The District
Office Of THE STUDENTS
Education

25. Imagine:
A learning center for
MOTIVATED TEACHERS

26. A schedule of classes of
many different levels

27. REMEMBER:
MOTIVATED
TEACHERS ONLY!

28. The teacher would ONLY
be able to join if they
had 90% attendance or
higher for the 3 months
prior to the class.

29. If a teacher was
accepted into
a course

30. If a teacher was We would
accepted into provide a
a course substitute teacher
for the class

31. If a teacher was We would
accepted into provide a
a course substitute teacher
for the class
These would come
from our Child to Child
Educators and
community members,
trained by our Teacher
Trainers

32. If a teacher was We would
accepted into provide a
a course substitute teacher
for the class
These would come
Teachers must also
from our Child to Child
attend a 1 day
Educators and
“how to prepare
community members,
for a substitute
trained by our Teacher
teacher” class
Trainers

33. The teacher would
attend the class
AND GET NO
PER DIEM

$

34. Each teacher would have
a card which stated
how many kilometers
their house is from the
training center.

35. AFTER the day's class,
the teacher could go to
the Teacher Gas Pump

36. AFTER the day's class,
the teacher could go to
the Teacher Gas Pump
and be given a
small amount of
gas equivalent to
the gas used to
come/go from
their home
(excluding the first 2km, so those living
within 2km would not receive gas)

37. IN ORDER TO PASS,
TEACHERS MUST DO
TWO THINGS

38. #1:
ATTEND ALL CLASSES
IN THE SERIES.

39. #2:
HAVE A TEACHER
TRAINER EVALUATE
THEIR IMPLEMENTATION
OF THEIR LEARNING IN
THE CLASSROOM.

40. IF A TEACHER PASSED
THE CLASS, THEY GET
THREE BENEFITS

41. #1:
THEY GET A CERTIFICATE.
In Cambodia, certificates
are important.

42. #2:
THEY GET PAID.
This could be the same amount as the per
diem, thereby just deferring our payment to
reflect the impact. Or the equivalent of lost
income from days in training.
Payment might increase slightly based on
class level.

43. #3:
THEY GET POINTS.
Each "motivated teacher" would earn a special
card after taking their first class. Each class
would be worth a number of points (eg. level 1
classes = 1 point, level 2 classes = 2 points, etc).
Once a teacher has received 10 points, they
move up a level.

44. Higher Level Cards =
Higher Level Benefits.

45. TWO Types
of Benefits

46. TWO Types
of Benefits
Personal &
Community
Social Benefit

47. TWO Types
of Benefits
Personal &
Educational
Community
Materials
Social Benefit

48. Higher level cards can buy
certain items from the Teacher

59. & Higher levels would have

60. & Higher levels would have
the ability to start a savings
plan for university
which we would match in part

61. + Access to other trainings

62. + Access to other trainings
Such as English and computer classes

63. ABUSE OF THE SYSTEM
WOULD RESULT IN:

67. Principals would benefit
from the system too.

68. Principals would benefit
from the system too.
There would be administrator training
options which also gain benefits + they
would get money to use to support their
school, variable depending on the number
of teachers in their school and principals
who were part of the program could gain
access to the teacher supplies as well.

Principal leadership and participation in the training design/implementation
schedule/etc will be necessary for success!

70. School support committees and
the students could also benefit
further from more trained
teachers, besides just better
classes.

71. School support committees and
the students could also benefit
further from more trained
teachers, besides just better
classes.
Schools that had X% of Level C teachers
can have a higher maximum amount of
support available to them through our
school support committee budgets.

72. District Office of Education
employees would benefit as
they would co-teach with our
teacher trainers.
