As Rato Bangala comes close to its 20th anniversary, Bank Street trainer, Judith Gold conducted a landmark training session for a month from 28 August to 24 September. Judith worked with teachers and the school leadership on various aspects of the curriculum and supervision. She conducted a series of sessions with teachers from grades I-VIII on planning and implementing the new topics and ideas in Social Studies effectively. With the school leadership, Judith focused on the coaching process. The highlight of Judith’s time here was setting up the block areas in grades I and II and preparing teachers to use them.
