Over the past 13 months, they have received 8 weeks of intensive training to advance their expertise and capability related to the subject Care, which is part of the VSBO sector program.
Based on an assessment, done in September 2007, FIDE compiled a specific practical training as a follow up to the pedagogical-didactical training that the VSBO teachers had already received in March 2007.
Through this training the "Care" teachers have become knowledgeable in creating a different classroom environment with workstations and transfer information to their students by formulating practical individual- and group assignments.
The initiative of the FIDE training is funded by USONA as part of the implementation of the project plan VSBO, Sint Maarten.
