Peace Corps is very excited to be launching this manual to support literacy, math and science. This book is a resource for Peace Corps Volunteers, teachers, community leaders, mentors, learning coaches, and others who are interested in delivering “hands-on” educational activities in classrooms and communities. The original manual was created in 1998 in Morocco under a United States Agency for International Development funded project called “Training for Development” that focused on improving the primary school completion rates for girls in Morocco’s rural areas. One of the ways to keep girls (and boys) in schools was to introduce teachers to student-centered methodologies so that students felt more engaged in the learning process.
