Tinga Tinga Tales Early Childhood Development Teacher Training

This past week we were in Nairobi, Kenya for Tinga Tinga Tales Early Childhood Development Teacher training for 90 teachers. Each teacher participating in the main training led by Ms. Mariam Elloker, our ECD Specialist, will share new skills with 5 more teachers, impacting around 540 teachers and directly reaching 15000 learners on average.

The training focuses on Literacy skills through the Tinga Tinga Tales book: “Why elephant has a trunk” facilitating best practice through play. Teachers were singing and dancing, dramatizing the story, and making new songs and poems. They learned to make teaching aids by using locally available resources in a creative way. The room was vibrant with energy, and the visiting VIPs found themselves dancing along with the participants within minutes.
