Project description
The Gambia invites you to support newly qualified teachers as they foster a love for math and sciences among young students.
Currently, there are limited training opportunities for Gambian teachers to continue strengthening their professional skills once they’ve earned their certification. Classroom instruction is often teacher-centered with limited hands-on learning for students. The Gambian Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education is looking to change that by equipping young or new teachers with effective and inclusive approaches for literacy and numeracy lessons.
As a Primary Education Teacher Trainer, you will strengthen the skills of teachers and students in grades 1-3. You will also implement gender-related activities that are contextually appropriate.
Required Skills
Qualified candidates will have an expressed interest in working in the health sector and one or more of the following criteria:
Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science degree in any discipline and a strong desire to teach English
