Teacher Training

“My 9 year old son attended the Earth Science Workshop. As a parent, I was impressed to hear that the teacher had a degree in Environmental Education! Who could be a better person to learn from?! Over the course of the three day program, my son was introduced to new terms and concepts, some of which continue to fascinate him. He particularly enjoyed the segment on rocks and by the end of the program, he considered himself to be an authority on the history of Planet Earth! Workshops like these are key – for children, parents and teachers alike.”

I consider myself lucky to be an associate of the climate training cohort. Fortune favoured me to taste the mentoring of Azal Zahir, Marvsi Soomro , Dr. Fozia Parveen and Radhika Lyengar 🌸 We delved deep into the concept of climate science, the significance of empathy building, the enigma behind soil, designing and tailoring our classes and more! 

“My daughter had the pleasure to get enrolled in Ms Azal Zahir’s Earth Sciences introductory class. It was a great experience and allowed my lil one to have a jump start on various concepts, which would, hopefully, sow the seeds of curiosity, fascination and also inculcate a lifelong learning attitude in her. Moreover, Azal has a cheerful demeanor and a friendly way of teaching. My daughter is very shy, but I could see her opening up.”

The training and the CCSS introduced me to climate change with a new perspective – even though I was aware of its gravity, I lacked concrete knowledge about it. The other participants, the facilitators, and the mentors were all a great help throughout, as each introduced me to ideas I would’ve never thought about alone. Their suggestions, recommendations, and feedback proved to be the most important while conducting the CCSS!

“My daughter Leah signed up with Ms Azal from Chicago for the 2 month Earth Science program and loved every minute of it! Very few teachers encourage children to articulate their own opinions and thoughts but with Azal the kids thrived! They learnt about the big bang, the solar system and went on to use critical thinking and investigation tools making the class interactive! Leah took her rock collection one day and made good friends during this course as well! I highly recommend this course.”

“Ismail had a great time and was always excited for Azal’s sessions. This has definitely enhanced his knowledge base. Thank you so much!”

“Thank you so much, It was really a great experience. Ibrahim loved it and enjoyed it a lot would definitely love to hear about more classes!”

“Thank you so much ! The class was lovely and informative and it’s just what Zahin needed! He will definitely miss it. He has learnt a lot and often gives us tit bits of information !! If you ever decide to do another session or choose another subject to teach then we’d love to do it again!”
