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 37
ALOP workshops. These workshops have included over 1,100 teachers from more
than 30 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. |
