Essential Schools Capacity-Building Workshops (ES-CBW)

The Essential Schools Capacity-Building Workshop (ES-CBW) is a free back-to-school post-purchase school-based training programme to reward our loyal customers. This training seeks to build professional capacity in facilitators to ensure that they use Essential resources effectively to derive maximum learning and teaching experience to the admiration and delight of stakeholders of the school.

Module

Effective teaching with Essential Facilitator’s Guide is a capacity-building training module based on Essential learning and teaching resources published by NNF Esquire Limited and approved by NaCCA. The module is in two sections: the first section explores how the Essential Series operationalizes the philosophy underlying the Standards-based Curriculum and the Common Core Programme. The second section covers the application of learner-centred pedagogy and other practical approaches offered in the Essential Facilitator’s Guide, aimed at equipping facilitators with approaches that direct, guide, motivate, support and reward learners to acquire 21^st century skills, attitudes, competences and values in a digital learning domain for the fourth industrial revolution.

Duration

The module will last for ninety minutes.

Beneficiary eligibility

Any school that purchased Primary and Junior High Essential resources for the immediate past academic year is eligible to request for, and benefit from, this FREE training programme.

Virtual Workshops

If the workshop cannot be held in-person, an arrangement can be made to hold it virtually. In that case, the school will have to designate a facilitator to liaise with NNF team to schedule an online training.  

To ensure facilitators relate classroom lessons to real world experience and then recommend training to fill the gaps. Training has been offered and delivered free of charge to over 1000 schools  in the Greater Accra region as well as to schools in Central Region,  Bono & Ahafo regions, Western Region, Volta Region, Savanna, Upper West, Upper East and Northern Regions of Ghana.
