DBE3 is not only known in the target districts in North Sumatra but also in a non-target district, Labuhan Batu. Initially, Labuhan Batu district learned about the program related to learning in SMP and MTs.
On finding out about these programs, MKKS Gugus III Kecamatan Kualuh Hulu and Kualuh Selatan, Labuhan Batu invited a DBE3 team to give training for teachers in MGMP in two sub districts. On November 1-2, training for teachers was conducted at Perguruan Kualuh, Aek Kanopan.
250 teachers, 22 principals and 3 people from district school principals’ group (MKKS) participated in this training. The training was also supported by an organization called Forum Masyarakat Labuhan Batu

(FORMAL – the Community Forum of Labuhan Batu).
According to Bpk. Maruli Sitorus, a principal and committee member of MKKS cluster III, the training was very interesting and important for the teachers.
“The training is important for teachers. The six-monthly MGMP meetings are quite boring. We need something new; that is why we invited trainers from DBE3 North Sumatra.
The training materials given by DBE3 North Sumatra were adjusted to the needs in Labuhan Batu. The materials were focused on how to motivate students, how to learn effectively, what learning models should be applied and how to develop lesson plans.

Two participants – Ibu Nuraini and Bpk. Suharto – said that the training broadened their horizons and gave them more knowledge about learning, which is very useful for them. In addition the training will also help them to get their certification. As for the training materials, both of them said that they were interesting.
Participants enjoyed the training and took part in it until the end. The training focusing on Science, Social Studies, Indonesian, English, Civics and Mathematics was facilitated by eight District Trainers of DBE3 North Sumatra.
