GROOM A TEACHER (GAT) WORKSHOPS. We conduct both internal and external workshops in schools with the main objective of grooming competent and complete teachers, teachers who can enable learners excel academically and at the same time groom learners who can face in its reality after school through making informed choices thus fighting poverty strategically. Our workshops were recommended by the MOES & KCCA DESS. We handle: Reading Implementation using (RICA), Performing strategizing, Attitude development, Critical thinking, Phase Assessment Tool, Customer Care, Practical skills, Team work, Strategy Prosperity (SP) etc.
Enable teachers acquire ICT skills, email accounts, bank accounts, modern teaching skills, life skills. Under Modern teacher we have so far enbaled over 300 teachers acquire email accounts free of charge, we started it Ggaba PTC in 2017. Currently we have worked with Equity Bank to enable teachers acquire accounts.
We believe that people who are in the best position of skilling our nations are teachers, simply because we spend most of our time with children of the nation. we encourage, lobby and organise sessions were teachers can learn hands on skills as a way of supplementing on their salaries and extending such a skill to their learners.
Our strategy of reducing an employment is to act as an employment hub for schools and teachers, we bridge the geographical barriers. Currently most male school heads take advantage of desperate female teachers looking for jobs and others are first abused sexually before they are given jobs we started that approach a sa a way of eliminating that vice. So far over 350 unemployed teachers have been connected to schools since 2017 95% being youth teachers and 70% on the 95% being female teachers. Before connecting teachers we first induct them so that they can acquire the needed market skills and be in position to sustain their jobs since job retention is one of the major challenges in Uganda.
Help scheme where we support needy schools, learners, with a lot of different scholastic materials, school fees and free programs like workshops. With this strategy we want to instill helping hearts in our schools and teachers so that our learners can emulate us and grow with that heart of helping each other.
In order to attain our objective of grooming modern teachers we started by enabling over 300 teachers trainees at Ggaba PTC acquire free email accounts in 2017. Apart from just having facebook and watsapp, teachers should appreciate and learn how to communicate, store their documents, content or look for jobs using emails than the physical approaches that seem to very costly and time consuming.
We strongly believe that we can not achieve the objective of transforming teachers alone and that's why we believe in partnerships and collaboration to reach as many teachers as possible, World Vision Uganda has always reached out to us to train their teachers or trainers of trainers around Uganda. We have had over 8 interventions with them in four times in Butaleja district, once in Soroti, once in Rakai, twice in Hoima, thus benefiting over 300 teacher trainers that pass on the knowledge of competence based learning and simplified reading skills to thousands of learners.
