Toolkits and Manuals

The purpose of the facilitator’s Guide for Remedial Instruction Program for School Pupils is to provide guidance to facilitators during the teacher training to make it more practical and active, and ensure that the training meets participants’ needs. As trainers you must familiarize yourself with the facilitator’s Guide, and ensure that you review the session’s plans before every session. This guide provides you with a time table and session plans for all days of training. There are a variety of activities, including demonstrations and pair practice. The guide was developed to provide opportunities for participants to practice skills, and the emphasis throughout the training should always be participants practice.

This tool kit is a reference guide. It includes information on the following: • Ideas to start a remedial program, • Assessment guidelines and tools, and • Suggested remedial activities.

This guide provides you with activity plans for three days of intensive coaching training. Some activities require participants to work individually, in pairs or in small groups to prepare and make presentations thereafter. Others are led by a trainer and provide the content needed for successful small group work.

This manual will support the pedagogical leaders to acquire coaching competences mainly focusing on listening skills, questioning techniques, giving technical advice and constructive feedback.

In March 2020, the government of Uganda closed all schools and other educational institutions to mitigate the wide spread of COVID-19. This exposed significant risk especially to rural areas where there is limited access to reading materials or virtual learning platforms to continue learning. Ministry of Education and Sports’ (MoES) Preparedness and Response Plan for COVID-19 (April 2020) outlined measures of continuing learning through radio, take home packages and digital learning. MoES also decided to provide psychosocial support to minimize the adverse effects of COVID-19 on pupils, teachers and the education system at large, through support from USAID/Uganda Literacy Achievement and Retention Activity (LARA).The project planned to support MoES to enhance capacity of Primary Teachers college tutors and administrators to cascade psychosocial support training to head teachers and teachers in 43 districts. The objective of the training was to i) equip participants with knowledge and skills on psychosocial support, ii) identify psychosocial needs and discuss appropriate interventions and iii) apply psychosocial support intervention skills. The Facilitator guide provides information which will help reduce COVID-19 related stress, anxiety and prepare teachers for school reopening. In addition, teachers will be able to protect and provide counselling to pupils.
