Teach the Teachers

A partnership for professional development and computer training

Teach the Teachers Scoop

Great Shape! Inc.’s Teach the Teachers Project provides resources, volunteers, and training for Jamaican educators. This is an award-winning program, praised by the Jamaican Ministry of Education. Volunteers will usually support one or two tracks of the project (listed below).

Volunteer

Computer Education focuses on beginners to advanced (including hardware and troubleshooting).
Language Arts models methods to enhance reading and writing techniques with an emphasis on comprehension, skill building, word recognition, and written expression.
Behavior Management demonstrates the tools to enhance motivation and rewards; provides methods to create a joyfully-controlled classroom as well as tips to manage staff.

The children of Jamaica are the ultimate beneficiaries! Their teachers have long requested training from Great Shape! Inc. This is a wonderful opportunity to collaborate together (imagine a room full of educators from around the world!), gain access to inspiration, resources, and proven techniques.
