Over the past five months, twenty-eight teachers at the six schools participating in our technology training program have each received fifty hours of training and have just completed their “model classes,” the final step in the program. In the model classes they demonstrated their new computer skills with their students, while being observed by their principals, representatives of the Guatemala Ministry of Education and by TINFA evaluators.
All teachers passed with flying colors and will be receiving their diplomas shortly.
The teachers also gave uniformly positive feedback on the value and quality of their training, with the only significant caveat that they would have liked more time – suggesting real motivation for learning more skills!
