What are the issues with primary education in your country? Why are people invited to the OER4schools programme?
As a facilitator, consider:
* What are the issues with primary education in your country? Why are people invited to the OER4schools programme?
* What are teachers’ expectations (attend for the whole year - starting off weekly)? Some people will be concerned with big picture, others with detail. Agree the day of the week for f2f meetings.
* Some expectations about what a workshop should be like. Modelling activities in the workshop on activities planned for the classroom. (Modelling participation and interactivity at all levels.)

Some expectations about what a workshop should be like. Modelling activities in the workshop on activities planned for the classroom. (Modelling participation and interactivity at all levels.)
Before the first workshop:

* Think about what props are needed. Do you need sheets of paper and pens?
