The teacher training course, consisting of 11 modules encompassing essential skills in teaching and learning practices, left a profound impact on me. From the outset, it skillfully distinguished between essential and academic skills, fostering a love for learning and emphasizing the importance of keeping the child at the centre of designing the teaching and learning experience. The course highlighted the importance of tactile stimulation, exemplified by the captivating concept of the homunculus—a representation of a child with enlarged ears and mouth, underscoring the significance of hands-on activities and effective communication.
