Fount of Mercy's educational development trip to Uganda is less than a month away! In July five educators from the States will be traveling to Jinja and Kampala Uganda to offer teacher training for The AIDS Orphan Support Trust, Orphans Rescue Ministries, Message of Hope Ministries, Care and Share and HODASSU. The five educators will be focusing on Curriculum Development, Literacy, Math, PE and Music/Performing Arts.
Our team of five will push into 3-4 classrooms during the day, teaching 45-90 minutes classes. Each educator will work with the same 3-5 classes throughout our 4 days with each Ugandan organization. Each educator will use the Ugandan Ministry of Educations new curriculum to plan their 4 lesson plans and will be prepared to adjust each lesson depending on the grade level. The goal is to daily share the lesson plan with the Ugandan teacher before the volunteer begins teaching the class. This way the Ugandan teacher is learning through the teams' modeling. In the afternoon the plan is to sit down with all the Ugandan teachers to discuss the lessons of the day, to discuss lessons learned and then together brainstorm ways that each Ugandan teachers can incorporate what was learned in their classrooms and teaching styles.
We CANT WAIT! We'll all take turn posting our experiences.
