An exciting day today, classroom teaching begins. We meet after the teachers' working day at Future Starts Now Gambia -school. There are a total of seven teacher students from all three schools of the project. We start by defining the most central concepts and go through the basic theories of pedagogy.
As on exercise teacher students discuss their own experiences of good teachers in pairs. The end result of the exercise is the definition of a good Gambian teacher: confident, focused, flexible, determinent to teach, goal-oriented, teacher by heart, clear with explanations, gives good introductions, ensures understanding. This is a very good definition. We are excited to see if this definition takes on new dimensions during this week.
