Successful week at work

I am really chuffed this week to have finished the visual impairment half module of the training course for special school teachers. It has been work in progress for so long that it was hanging over me a bit. I will be able to give it out next week during our training days. It is an optional module, so I expect only ten teachers will do it. I will have time to support them while I am in country until mid July. So that works out well.Our training days are Monday, Wednesday and Friday next week. A third of the teachers from each of the schools attend on each day. I am mainly organising the logistics of the days as well as giving support to the teachers to get their assignment two completed. We have three presentations on the days, all being done by VSOs. One on teaching reading, one on teaching children with low ability, one on classroom and behaviour management.Last night I slept over at a new volunteer's house as she is very nervous about security at night. We had a good chat and this morning she said that she slept well in her own flat for the first time, so that is good. She is a lovely person, so I am enjoying making friends with her.This weekend we have a bridge evening at a friend who works at the American Embassy (posh place) and on Sunday we have a long day trip to Marshall Falls - so watch this space for the story about that!
