Photo-story contest March, 2017


According to the plan of Learning Support Program it was organized Photo-story contest in  March, 2017 for   Naryn villages’ teachers and students from 16 schools. As the result, 11 teachers and 30 students submitted their work.  This strategy provides students with an opportunity to take a photo and create their own story.  All chosen photos are fantastic. Photos generated ideas, inspired them, and participants wrote stories. Participants presented their ideas about the importance of learning in their life, the role of LSP for them, or some other things that are very important for them.  
All of the posts with photos and stories are published on site:  https://cluster.co/ which allows members to make comments, and to see and read all posted work. It was amazing to see comments of coordinators and our teachers on this site who share their ideas about the written essays. At the same time,  It was very difficult to choose the best work, because all photos and stories to them are exemplary of the excellent work. We used descriptive essay rubric and assessed all work. It helped us to understand better where the problems are and in which aspects we have to concentrate our attention at the training with teachers at the next time. We are going to provide to all participants the descriptive essay rubric with all criteria and the scores that they got. This is also a part of Professional Development  to teach teachers on essay writing. Some of the best work from teachers represented by Zhumakerimova Dinara Tokonovna from Kyzyl-Dobo school, Sharshenbek kyzy Asel, Murzakulova Anara from Beishenalieva  school, Ak-Taala,Manazarova Gulnara from Ak-Ychyk village, Osmonalieva Anargul from At-Baashi, Karibek  uulu Akmaatali school. They wrote about the Learning Support Program and the influence of it on them and on their students. In many stories students wrote that they are dreaming to study at UCA in Naryn and to get the best access to education. In this activity, teachers and students improved their writing and critical thinking skills, ability to use technology and to share their work on distance.


All of participants were very happy that there is such chance for them to be active, to write their own thoughts and ideas, to take part in the contest. This is also a new experience for us- coordinators and we had to learn a lot about organization of this activity on distance and publication of the best work. We are planning to continue such work "on distance" and "face-to-face" to improve writing skills of our participants in LSP.
