Proud to be part of the team that presented the report on the OER4School pilot project (since 2017). We had an engaging discussion with IT Principle Director's office at the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education in Zimbabwe. We shared lessons and recommendations for future partnerships, expansion and integration. Lumbiwe Lulu Limbikani

We are still in Zimbabwe; supporting Teacher Professional Development and the use of OERs. We in Nkayi, Matebele North. It's been over 4 years since the OER4School Programme was first introduced here.

During our time, we will work with the teachers and learn about successes, the need for refresher courses, (we are always learning!) and generally find out what is working and where we can all do better to support access to quality education.

Binga, Matebele North, Zimbabwe: Teachers during their Teacher Group meeting (TGM) exploring students tablets and discussing how they are going to introduce digital resources in the classroom.

After the initial in-person training session, teachers take the lead in their own professional development and have weekly/bi-weekly TGMs. During the TGMs, teachers work through the OER4Schools modules and looks at how to manage student behaviour, differentiation, managing limited resources and any challenges they might encounter whilst integrating ICT in their classrooms.

The teachers have access to in-person and remote mentoring and support. They create and are part of communities of practice as they continue to work on their methodologies

We are in Zimbabwe for the next few weeks supporting the project on Teacher development to foster participatory learning, effective use of open educational resources (OER) and information and communication technologies (ICT).

eLthree is leading the training sessions on how to use the OER4School modules for teacher professional development and the integration of ICT/Digital resources for everyday teaching and learning.
