SSTA member Dr Archie Marshall, was one 17 Global Teachers who traveled to Malawi this in 2007 to work individually and in small groups to support the development of:
-
Teaching methodologies & classroom management
-
Specific curricular/learning areas
-
School development planning
-
Lesson planning
-
Assessment and evaluation
-
Resource management
-
School management, record keeping and administration
During their placements, the Global Teachers lived with host families in their homes within the school’s community for five weeks – giving them a real insight into life in Malawi – an extremely valuable experience to take back to Scotland to inform teaching and learning about global issues.
