Teacher Training
JKL�s Partner Organizations will conduct teacher-training sessions every three months.  These sessions will include a broad range of topics and the intention is to enhance the teacher�s awareness of different learning styles, pedagogical options and considerations and, thereby, create an environment that will respond to the needs of the children, leading to better attendance.  Topics that may be covered in addition to health and nutrition include:
�  Classroom management for multi-grade schools
�  Improving teacher�s pedagogical skills and methodology
�  Teaching with an emphasis on development of analytical and creative skills instead of rote memorization
�  Learning/teaching materials generated by teachers and children using low-cost or no-cost local resources
�  Techniques and strategies for teaching in multi-ethnic and bilingual classrooms
�  Children�s rights and classroom democracy
�  Student government, organization and participatory decision-making processes

To implement the teacher-training component, JKL and World Bank staff will train a team of trainers from local partner organizations.  This team will work full-time in planning and implementing teacher training in the target areas. JKL, through local recipient agencies, will carry out teacher training programs with four modules on hygiene, nutrition, participatory methodologies and safe food handling practices. This training will be in coordination with the World Bank Girls� Education SUCCESS Project being carried out by the MOE.

Health and Nutrition Education in the Classroom
JKL will train teachers in health and nutrition practices and give teaching materials created to implement a similar component within the curriculum.  Improved health and nutrition practices will be integrated into daily classroom activities.  Students will participate in simple hygiene activities such as hand washing and brushing their teeth at school. MaxiFlourex will donate the toothbrushes and toothpaste. The sustained effect of this program will include increased community knowledge of basic sanitation.

PTA and Community Education Committees (CEC) Formation
JKL will facilitate the organization of a CEC in each community.  Parents and community leaders will have a role in program activities such as infrastructure improvements to the schools and food distribution. A yearly participatory evaluation of the program will be conducted with the community and the results of this evaluation would influence program implementation details in subsequent years.

JKL FFE Program will incorporate women in all levels of implementation.  Staff members will be chosen without discrimination based on qualifications and an effort will be made to incorporate female candidates for all positions.  Local partners will also make an effort to seek qualified female candidates for positions with JKL FFE program. Particular preference will also be placed on Hopestuk language skills, which is necessary for communication with most women in the rural areas and many of the men.

Community Organizations are more effective when they are representative of the community. Therefore, CECs will be required to include at least two female members.

Interventions to be financed through the CECs can be organized under the following categories:
�  Construction of school canteens or food preparation areas, and basic utensils for food and water, serving and storage.
�  Training material on committees� access to public services available to communities.
�  Procurement of additional reference books for participating schools and other teaching materials.
�  Procurement of additional school and classroom supplies.  Supplies may include posters, notebooks, pens, pencils, pencil sharpener, eraser, crayons or colored pencils, markers, blackboards, chalk, desks, chairs, and scissors.
�  Establish a school garden in schools that are interested and have land available.

De-worming and Vitamin A Supplements
JKL, working with the Ministry of Health, will ensure all students in worm-prone areas are provided with de-worming medication 2 times per year.  The first dose of medication will be provided prior to the onset of the feeding activities.  The World Health Organization will provide the de-worming medication.  If there is insufficient de-worming medication, JKL will purchase additional medication with monetization proceeds.  Vitamin A supplements will be provided to school-age children in local clinics.  JKL will purchase the Vitamin A supplements and deliver them to the local clinics.  All school-age children will be provided with a notice of the availability of the vitamin supplement and where they may obtain it.  This notice will be provided by JKL and will encourage parent to take their children to the local clinic for a check-up.  Additionally, JKL may provide for a registered nurse to visit each participating school once through the year to provide essential health information to the community.

Administrative Activities 
A total of $106,800 corresponds to the administrative and ITSH related expenses of JKL FFE program.  These expenses are detailed in the USDA Administrative Budget that accompanies this Plan of Operation.  These expenses include storage and distribution of food, transportation of food to the main JKL warehouse and regional warehouses as well as program staff, benefits and other expenses
