Kids Initiative
Training for Teachers Course

Module 4
Instructional Design for Project Learning and Theme-based Sharing
To accompany KIDS INITIATIVE, a multicultural education program for children incorporating videoconference, the TDLC developed a Teachers Training Course complete with tool kit to help instructors guide children as they plan and deliver a KIDS session. An advisory group of experts participated in the process by providing input, both in Japan and from the region.
The Teachers Training Course, consisting of 5 three-hour modules, began on December 15, 2007 and is conducted by Dr.Christopher Tan, an international expert on education utilizing IT.
