Help to make a curriculum for training tutors and a CD Rom/Ebook based on it

Step:

The Children Education Project is based on the idea of a tutoring model in which older school children mentor younger children, tell them stories, play with them, etc.. Through this both sides are taught the value of education.
Based on the objectives defined in the business plan, we are looking for a Nabuur who would write a curriculum/lesson plan for the training of the tutors to prepare them for their tasks. One of our neighbours, Simone, is willing to create a CDRom with the relevant content for the tutors: Can you help her to develop it?
Draft Project Proposal for the Children Education Project
Dear Angelika and other neighbours
We need to cover three sides of curriculum for the tutorial class children aged 5-10 years.
one- what is the local context (Physical, humanetarian,academic and others)
two- what are the posibilities of their future life?
three- what is the minimum stander determined by the government?
Then we can develop curriculum.
Best regards

Dear Min,
Based on the project proposal maybe you can already develop a draft and then ask concrete questions to Sabina, our Local Representative. She will be happy to answer them :)
Since this programme is not sponsored by the government and is not a classical school education but an innovative tutoring programme I don't think that there are any government standards.
It would be great if you would take responsibility for the task by clicking on the above link :) Already that you know the right questions shows that you know a lot about the topic and your support will be very valuable!
Kind regards, Angelika
Dear All:
So good to see development in Yoshinkel! I know it will take time to solve problems but a little step at a time will definitely bring us there!
Best regards,
Junjun
Dear Min,
It would be great if you could make a draft for discussion, what do you think? It would be of great help!
Kind regards, Angelika

Pre-school children how to learn a foreign language?
First, we should develop pre-school children interested in learning foreign languages, and the initial simple life and daily activities exchanges ability to use language. Focusing on the large accumulation of listening experience, the basis of this preliminary development verbal expression, and recitation of the letters, spelling words, memorize the sentence should not be the main contents of learning. At this point, teachers should keep a clear head and enough patience, tolerance children's silence, the children accept the delay copycat acts, not from the beginning of a press or to force their children to "ah", "acknowledged being the word" and "quick to write letters" to avoid damage to the learning initiative , foreign language learning as a grind burden.
Secondly, the pre-school children to learn foreign languages and children's daily lives and play activities should be together. One aspect, the content must be of interest to children, and familiar with children, such as paint, and eating ice cream; The learning process can be fully mobilized to children's vision, hearing and physical activity.
These activities were proposed by Sabina
Mona posted these suggestions for activities with kids
Hello Sabina,
Greetings and congratulations for joining the pioneer villages.
About the subject matter, Issues to do with curriculum development are very sensitive and have to be handled with care. Sabina I am wondering if your country has an official curriculum for preschool children and tutors and whether there is a gap we need to discuss and address here.
Otherwise any thing we propose here have to be in line with the government of Nepal preschool curriculum for tutors
If there is no official curriculum then our proposals will be very timely.
Thanks
Jessica
Hi Everyone,
This is the first chance I've had to look at this aspect of the project. I work fulltime for a Training company in Sydney, so just from my perspective the first step obviously is training the tutors to be trainers themselves. In schools here in NSW we all have a do a program called "peer support" which is basically older students (yr 6 in Primary and Yr 11 &12 in Secondary) taking a group of younger students for a 8 weeks program each year to assist them both assimilating into the new school year and helping them to benefit most from the larger school community. I participated at both ends as a young student and later as a leader of my own group. I have attached some really basic info from the Department of education. The most important aspect I see in effective training is not in the material you teach but in the deliver and relationship between tutor and student. We hire our training staff based on raport, communication skills and empathy becuase we find that those skills once learnt enable you to teach any subject effectively.
I have also some sample Pdf of their program I can email as there are too many to post.
Simone.
Hi,
I would like to help, have doubt though which ages you want to address with the curriculum first. I would suggest to
1) define age groups to individualize curriculum
2) check the governmental requirements (they eventually should fit into the system, shouldn't they?)
3)define topics (like sabrina did in her document - for each age group)
4) structure topics into smaller details - here a great example webpage: http://www.cstone.net/~bcp/BCPIntro2.htm, http://www.coreknowledge.org/CK/resrcs/lessons/Prek.htm
5) define how to help the elder brother/sister to teach/help the child to achieve this skill - trainingmanual could be written by myself if wanted
How do you feel about this?
Dear Nicole,
For the age group question and the model please have a look at the project proposal which can be found under resources of this task (on the right hand side of the screen). Students from 15 to 20 should mentor students from 5 to 10.

Angelika
Curriculum and Lesson Plan
Here a suggestion on what is required for children to learn in schools. This might not adapt to the proiject at hand, but still might give an overview from where to start to develop a more specific and realistic curriculum and to break it down into more handable parts…
Dear Nicole,
Thanks for your contribution - I saved the long text in the Wiki: the online document we can all work on. You can find the link on the right side. It is a very long scroll down otherwise if you go through the discussion items.
Best, Angelika
