CAPE Green Engineering Teacher Training

The Caribbean Examinations Council®, in partnership with the Department of Physics, the School of Education and the Faculty of Engineering at The University of the West Indies, hosted a three-day workshop under the theme "Strengthening Teacher Training in the Area of the CAPE® Green Engineering Syllabus".  This project is an intervention of the Technical Assistance Programme for Sustainable Energy in the Caribbean (TAPSEC), co-funded by the European Union and the German Cooperation,  and supported by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat. The initiative aimed to provide support through teacher training and the development of electronic learning resources to assist teachers of CXC®'s CAPE® Green Engineering syllabus.  The training also promoted an understanding of the principles of Green Engineering including benefits, challenges and limitations towards ensuring sustainability.  The resources developed included PowerPoint presentations, videos, demonstrations, experiments, group activities, multiple-choice questions and compilation of other useful references.  These resources are now accessible to participating teachers through the CXC® Learning Institute - a new online platform being developed by the Council. The online training intervention spanned from August 19, 2020 to September 2, 2020 and was conducted one day per week over the course of three weeks.
