Every month for 2 hours, the teachers are getting together within a school with the purpose of learning from each other. This program is called “communidades de aprendizaje” and is a program organized by the coordinators of the ministry of Education. In the districts of Olintepeque and San Francisco La Union, the teachers participating in the TINFA program have been asked to each pick a theme that they have learnt during the TINFA training and have practiced in their classroom.

They are asked to teach that theme or skill to the other teachers of the school during one of the “communidades de aprendizaje” periods. The teachers very much appreciate these theme trainings, because they are very relevant to their needs and strengthen the teacher community!
