Dear Educators & Partners!
Happy New Month!
At Meadow Hall Foundation we have and will always prioritize the quality of education for the Nigerian Child. To achieve that, the quality of teachers will have to improve. With the lockdown imposed by the government for our safety due to Covid-19, we continued organising webinars on our All About Teachers Online Platforms.
Mrs. Nkechi Fakoya, Head of Infant School at Meadow Hall opened the waves with the topic “Learning in a time of social distancing”. She delved into the tools and methods required for effective remote and online learning.
A session on “Covid-19 & The Naira: The financial implications of the pandemic on private schools” was also facilitated by Michael Famoroti, the Chief Economist at Stears Nigeria. Mr. Famoroti educated School Owners and Teachers on the need for organisational and financial sustainability.
The following webinar was about Physical Health- Exercise & Online Schooling: The ABC’s of Working Out by Abayomi Oladinni, Founder of Fitcabal & CEO of Dinn Active Wellness Consult. The lockdown had rendered us immobile and less active than before, so Mr. Oladinni taught various ways we can stay in shape while being indoors. Health certainly is Wealth.
The winner of INSEA 2018, Mr. Oluwafemi Olaponmile, was brought into the fold to educate his peers on “Managing the Classroom & the Student: Understanding the needs of the classroom and the needs of the student.” A case deemed very important and necessary, as there needs to be the understanding to know how efficiently prioritize the development of the class as a whole and each student individually especially in a blended learning system.
Understanding the constant evolution of the world we live in and how advanced technology is becoming daily, there is the need to match the advancement. Education shouldn’t play catch up and taking that into consideration we sought out Mrs. Tony-Ubah, an INSEA Winner, to facilitate the webinar Transforming Education For The 21st Century Learner.
Acknowledging the importance of ensuring the comfort of the students by creating a trusting environment is important in creating well-rounded children who will attain their highest potentials which is one of Meadow Hall Foundation’s aims.
Mr. Lanre Oguntuye, INSEA winner 2019, facilitated our webinar titled “Creating A Safe Space & Establishing A Relationship With Your Students.”
“Safety is Safety Always.” – Charles Melville Hays.
We had several other online pieces of training and webinars with topics such as Technology Tools for Creating Learning Contents, Using Class Time Well: Active (Online) Learning, Errors Teachers Must Avoid, Discipline the Hall Mark of Efficiency, Teacher Professional Development, The Future of Teaching, etc.
Our veteran INSEA Ambassador Mrs. Remi Tanimola facilitated a webinar titled “How to be An Effective Teacher” on the 26th of September, 2020. Being an Effective teacher equates to being an all-rounded educator which is a priority for the emotional, physical, and mental development of teachers.
Our next webinar is on the 3rd of October, 2020, Titled “Brand Management: Creating a reputation for your school”. It will be facilitated by Koromone “KK” Koroye.
As the government has eased lockdown and schools are reopening, Meadow Hall Foundation has created an initiative that will protect the children in public and low-income schools from Covid-19. With Keep the Children Safe Initiative (KCSI), we plan to install anti-Covid-19 hand sanitizer/hand wash stations in our adopted school and other public/community schools.
