Science on a Shoestring: Teaching Primary Science with almost NOTHING


How Lois Kelly and Kathy Schofield helped teachers in a Ugandan primary school develop scientific thinking with very limited resources.
“I have learnt that since science is a practical subject most of the things you teach should be practical for students to understand it” (Patrick, Ugandan primary school teacher)

our english – TCV English Resource

From The Education Director’s Desk, Tibetan Children’s Villages, Dharamsala:

I am extremely glad Liz MacGarvey is bringing out a TCV English Resource Book, ‘OUR ENGLISH’. This has been the outcome of a long partnership with Hope One World and with Liverpool Hope University, UK, whose professors have each summer come to the TCV schools to give workshops on professional development.

Liz MacGarvey is one of the English professors who has worked for a long time with our English teachers and taught at our schools. During our time together and through the many interactions thereof, it became clear for the need to have an alternative English Resource Book for TCV schools. Thus Liz MacGarvey has taken on this responsibility singularly as a challenge and has worked very dedicatedly to produce this English Resource Book for the Middle school level. To see this work in print is an enlightening experience.

Finally, we owe our gratitude to Earthchild Charity, UK for their financial support of this project. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts, experiences, talents and above all your smiles through the pages of this book. We are proud of this family product.
