Training by Visiting Bank Street Faculty and In-house Staff Development
Since its inception Rato Bangala School has collaborated with Bank Street College of Education (New York, USA). Over the years, Rato Bangala teachers have been trained at Bank Street College of Education in New York as well as at the school premises. RatoBangala Faculty that form the core leadership have been trained at Bank Street. All Rato Bangala teachers are expected to attend teacher training sessions offered by the school and the Foundation. In addition, short workshops are held frequently throughout the year, usually on Sundays, as part of staff development. The faculty is closely supported on a day-to-day basis, and this provides opportunities for the growth and development of teachers. Teachers participate in the Child Centered Level I Training as well as the Primary Teacher Training Programme run jointly by Rato Bangala Foundation, Bank Street College of Education and Kathmandu University.
Many Bank Street Faculty have come to RatoBangala over the years to provide invaluable training. In listing them, we thank them for their support in the growth and development of RatoBangala School.
