The Roger Federer Foundation initiated and supported the development of this interactive learning and teaching methods course that was specially designed for the Zambian Community School context. In particular, a school-based, collaborative approach is promoted and the Zambian primary school curriculum is referenced in various exemplary lesson plans and activities. The course does however have a wider application and may be flexibly implemented with minor contextual adaptations and while a collaborative learning approach is strongly encouraged, the course materials are also suitable for individual study purposes.The course will provide teachers with the skills to:● Plan, prepare and implement activities for interactive learning● Adapt content and design age and grade appropriate activities● Collect, make and store learning and teaching resources made from materials found in the local environment● Manage interactive learning in large and multi-grade classes● Manage interactive learning in mixed ability classes: Teaching or mediating content and knowledge for ALL learners regardless of ability● Promote an enabling learning environment by creating safe classrooms in which all learners are heard and in which all learners are supported to succeed.Specific course focus areas and topics include:● Planning and preparing activities for whole class, pair and group work in different contexts and /or for learners of different abilities● Learning to make language and literacy, maths and science resources for teaching and learning from natural and commercial waste materials found in the local environment.
