HIGH school teachers throughout the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU) were exposed to various techniques for creating and delivering exciting and compelling presentations on business and money management when the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) hosted a Train the Trainers workshop for high school teachers on September 26.
The workshop aimed to provide knowledge, practical skills and a greater understanding of how to teach young people about business and money management issues. The teachers gained insights on how to use creative thinking techniques as well as visual, auditory and hands-on teaching tools to prepare information and engage students in discussions on business and money management.
The topics covered at the workshop were:
1. Different learning styles and how to accommodate them;
2. Using creative thinking to solve problems;
3. Unlocking the television in trainees’ minds – awakening the mind’s eye;
4. The nuts and bolts of saving; and
5. Energising Training.
A statement from the ECCB said that it will undertake similar workshops for churches and financial institutions as part of its financial and economic public education programme. (LS)
