UNESCO’s Active Learning in Optics and Photonics (ALOP) is a program designed to strengthen the learning environment for students in developing countries by training teachers in a 5-day hands-on, minds-on, intensive workshop. ALOP workshops provide teachers with an update on introductory optics and photonics, and active learning teaching strategies that have been demonstrated to be more effective than traditional instruction. |

Since 2004, there have been
over 30 ALOP workshops. These workshops have included over 1,000 teachers
from more than 60 countries in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin
America. There have also been several follow-up workshops to train trainers
for future workshops in their countries, by giving them the opportunity to
work as assistant facilitators. This international award-winning program is
designed to empower teachers to educate their students effectively using
locally-available resources. ALOP workshops are facilitated by an
internationally recognized team of experts in optics and education. |
