I've had a busy week writing a course in special needs. I decided to base it on all the stuff I've been doing over the last few months which is really practical strategies for trying out with your class, then seeing what works. Pragmatism!I've also done quite a few individual support sessions with teachers in the mainstream schools where they have units for the blind. Many of these are not really about blindness, more about slow learners - children who can't read, but I'm gradually learning something about literacy so that I can maybe offer some helpful suggestions.This weekend I'm off with a friend to stay at the monastery that I visited before (which also has a brilliant beach) and to visit some VSO friends who are leaving Guyana next week. It is interesting to listen to the leaver's perspective...Things are hotting up as I have been asked to fly off to Lethem in the interior to help with a literacy training, so that will be exciting - Wed 17 to 18 Feb.
