Last week all the teachers who teach Spanish as a subject for the TKL/PKL and PBL at the various PSVE schools gathered at Carl’s Unique Inn for a three day – Spanish teacher training.
This training was especially designed to cater to the specific needs of the teachers for the TKL/PKL and PBL educational tracks. During these days, the teachers discussed the attainment targets, examination requirements and they were offered practical hands-on exercises for listening comprehension, verbal and reading skills. They were able to share their knowledge and experiences with the professional support of two experienced trainers from Curacao.
On the last training day, the participants prepared a presentation for the School Managers of the various PSVE schools. The presentation, entailed among other things, their input and specific suggestions for improvement and upgrading of the subject Spanish at their respective schools.
The teacher training was well received and had a total of 15 attendees from Sint Maarten and 2 attendees from the G. van Putten PSVE School in St. Eustatius.
This initiative was organized by the DERPI office and funded with Dutch Development funds, trough USONA.
