We Have Changed!
That is what Endang Retno Wulan, S.Pd, M.Pd, the principal of SMPN 3 Colomadu, Karanganyar, said about her school. Similar changes have also happened at DBE3 partner schools in nine target districts in Central Java as a result of DBE3 training and mentoring. Several examples can be seen in the photos here.

Using Old Newspapers to Teach Social Relations
Newspapers have no end of uses as a learning resource, as was shown by a Social Studies teacher at MTsN Jeketro. The lesson started with a game where the students had to insert letters to complete words based on a picture from the newspaper to teach the theme ‘associative and disassociative social relationships’. The students competed enthusiastically to complete the series of letters on the blackboard.

Working in groups, the students chose a picture or article about a social theme. Each group had a different article. Using a worksheet given to them by the teacher they held discussions and presented the results of their discussions. What was so pleasing about this activity was that the groups competed to give feedback during the presentation sessions.
