On 18th October, a development training workshop was organized for 100 administrative staff, faculty and management of CPA to enable personal and institutional growth, to build team commitment, to build ideas on how to improve classroom management. Mr. Gracious Ampofo, the school’s representative at the faculty workshop led sessions on the cognitive load theory modeled after content shared at the Education Collaborative workshop.

CPA participants were happy with the content presented andthought it to be relevant to them even as basic school facilitators. 750students have been directly impacted so far with these new techniqueslearned.
