Students were not in class March 9, 2009 in observance of International Women's Day; however, that did not stop over 40 teachers sitting in local classrooms to participate in the final day of SCC-supported teacher training. The last training sessions took place at Khnar and Phoum Stung Schools.

Teachers came from the four SCC-supported, government-run primary schools, including Svay Dungkum, Khnar, Phoum Stung and Wat Mon Thyean Schools. The training facilitators, normally instructors at the Provincial Teacher Training College and Siem Reap District Office of Education, delivered over 5 hours of dynamic presentations about teaching methodology and classroom management. This was the last of four sessions, spread between Feburary and March. 

Schools for Children of Cambodia, in partnership with the Siem Reap Provincial Teacher Training College, will monitor teachers' implementation of what they learned through school visits and classroom observation, starting in May.  The follow-up will not only help us with evaluation of this teacher training programme, but it will also help us identify needs for future training.
