What Is Meant By Capacity Building?

• “Capacity Building” is used to describe Intentional actions and initiatives that support us to become the best we can be – as individuals and as communities

• The word "capacity" speaks of our potential – as people, and as communities. So, when we talk about capacity, we are talking about that which we have the potential to become.

• By building social, environmental, economic, physical, psychological, spiritual, and cultural capacity, we are able to address the potential of the whole person within the whole community.

• Sometimes the changes in capacity we hope to achieve will include individual knowledge, behaviours, skills, and techniques. 05/03/2023 http://www.iecs-india.com 6


• We also want to give a boost to policies and infrastructure, funding, staffing and other helpful resources.

• We also want to pay attention to cultural capacities – those collective assumptions, attitudes, and worldviews that influence our life in families, groups, organizations, and in institutions such as government, health and the educational system.



• We value these capacities as concrete and practical, as instrumental and measurable. But we also need to be mindful of less concrete but equally critical human capacities such as individual self-awareness, attitudes, purpose, worldviews, and ethics, and how each of these capacities influences our choices and behaviours. 05/03/2023 http://www.iecs-india.com 8

EDUCATION

• Etymologically, the word "education" is derived from the Latin ēducātiō ("A breeding, a bringing up, a rearing") from ēdūcō ("I educate, I train") which is related to the homonym ēdūcō ("I lead forth, I take out; I raise up, I erect") from ē- ("from, out of") and dūcō ("I lead, I conduct").[3]

• Education can take place in formal or informal educational settings.05/03/2023 http://www.iecs-india.com 14

Formal education

• Systems of schooling involve institutionalized teaching and learning in relation to a curriculum, which itself is established according to a predetermined purpose of the schools in the system. School systems are sometimes also based on religions, giving them different curricula.05/03/2023 http://www.iecs-india.com 15

Formal education

• In recent years, co-teaching has become one of the most widely used models of collaboration, found in classrooms across all grade levels and content areas.

• Once only regarded as collaboration between special education and general education teachers, it is now more generally defined as “…two professionals delivering substantive instruction to a diverse group of students in a single physical space."05/03/2023 http://www.iecs-india.com 17

Formal education

• As classrooms have become increasingly diverse, so too have the challenges for educators. Due to the diverse needs of students with designated special needs, and students of varied academic levels, teachers have been led to develop new approaches that provide additional support for their students.


Formal education

• In practice, this is an inclusive model where students are not removed from the classroom to receive separate instruction, but rather they remain and receive collaborative instruction by both their general teacher and special education teachers. 05/03/2023 http://www.iecs-india.com 19

• Societal changes that have taken place over the past few decades allows new ways of conceptualizing collaboration, and to understand the evolution and expansion of these types of relationships.


Formal education

• Economic changes that have taken place domestically and internationally have resulted in the transformation from an industry-dependent economy to an information-centered economy that is dependent on new technologies and expansion of industries that provide services.05/03/2023 http://www.iecs-india.com 21

Formal education• From an educational standpoint, such

transformations were projected through federal reports, such as: A Nation at Risk in 1983 and What Matters Most: Teaching for America’s Future in 1996. In these reports, economic success could be assured if students developed the capacity to learn how to “manage teams… and…work together successfully in teams”.


Formal education

• The continuing development of Web 2.0 technologies, such as wikis, blogs, multiplayer games, online communities, and Twitter, among others, has changed the manner in which students communicate and collaborate. Teachers are increasingly using collaborative software to establish virtual learning environments (VLEs). This allows them to share learning materials and feedback with both students and in some cases, parents.05/03/2023 http://www.iecs-india.com 23
