2018 Qaardan Teacher Talent Show Regional Competitions.
Our teacher Talent show organised to motivate, reward and upskill teachers was successfully completed in Nigerian three states, Lagos, Enugu and Kaduna. We are appreciative of our contestants who gave amazing presentations and our attendees who participated and supported the contestants. Please see below for more details on the state competitions.
The winners from each state will contest in the grand finale later this year in September for the grand prizes.
LAGOS STATE COMPEITITON – Tuesday February 20, 2018:
Onyinye Madumere of Bridging Gaps School, Lekki, Lagos Emerged the winner – unopposed – in the Lagos Teacher Talent Show. Onyinye used her creative skill in Animation to develop an audio – visual to teach pre-schoolers to spell numbers from zero to a million using mnemonics and storylines. Her engaging storylines include, safety precautions such as dangers of talking to strangers, playing with sharp objects and walking around on bare feet.
An example: For the story line of number 6 – “If you don’t wear a pair of shoes or slippers, you get injured which will lead to getting a tetanus injection. You can be sure to see stars as you receive the shots from the doctor, nicely put, she telsl them that it will make them cry x, x, x.” When you put together the first sound in 6 which is ‘S’, the First sound in injection, ‘I’ and the ‘X’ Cry, it spells the number SIX.
Onyinye’s ingenious method is also designed to teach special needs kids and has worked successfully. She has gone on to train other teachers in the technique. This was an awe inspiring presentation.
