Teacher Training
Teacher Training is how educational change in Cambodia will take root and endure. CFC trains teachers in internationally recognized best practices, changing classrooms and creating child-centered learning. Teacher training is not only one of the most important arenas for socio-economic development but also one of the least financially supported. CFC teachers go on to train and mentor others, steadily changing the culture of education in Cambodia.
How do we do this?
- International Teacher Training – teachers, travel to Siem Reap to deliver workshops yearly
- Mentor Teacher Program – leaders in each grade or subject area assist with role modeling and implementation of best practices.
- Regular Meetings with mentor teachers and specialists
- Volunteer support with resources
- Participation in regional and national conferences
- Scholarships for teachers to earn university degrees
