Fulbright 2022 English Teaching Assistants Orientation April

In April, the Collaborative Schools Network (CSN) organized sessions on Teaching Techniques, Student Behavior Management and Training on Planning and Co-Teaching for the ETAs. These sessions prepared the ETAs to manage classroom teaching through simple yet effective teaching techniques requiring minimal resources. CSN shared their tried and tested, effective management models and also outlined the ways to collaborate with teachers and students through lesson planning, coordination and management of expectations and behaviour.

Our neighbors, the Peace Corps Nepal which deploys the largest number of volunteers for development assistance in the world, led two sessions for the Fulbright English Teaching Assistants.

The first session was on Community and Homestay Integration focused to help ETAs immerse themselves in the societies and families they are living in. The second session was on Safety & Security where various risk factors associated with living in Nepal and ways to mitigate and minimize them were discussed. The ETAs also attended the mandatory Regional Security Office briefing at the U.S. Embassy earlier in the month.
