HIV and AIDS awareness training-demonstrating teaching and learning skills.

Demonstration lesson with lots of active learning

I came to Guyana in August 2011, for one year, on a placement to develop the skills and practices of teachers working in Special Educational Needs (SEN).

As one third of Guyana's population live in the capital, and 90% live along the coastal strip of reclaimed plantation lands, I have focused my attention here.
The 10 Ministry backed SEN schools are in and around Georgetown. From these schools I have worked with about 20 teachers, developing their skills and building on their commitment and enthusiasm to create a team of classroom practitioners who can train up and pass on their skills and ideas to other teachers in SEN.
