Teacher's Needed for Cape Town and Ghana
Tuesday, May 11, 2010
Welcome to RATA's first blog entry.
RATA is busy preparing for its 2010 trips to Ghana and Capetown of September of this year. Our Directors, Anney Collin and Steve Horne are the educational leaders of these trips. Our teams are slowly coming together but we have a real need for great classroom practitioners. In both countries, we want to spend a lot of time modelling and mentoring numeracy and literacy. We will do this through an educational retreat that will be based on workshops that we will facilitate in key areas. This retreat will be run at an offsite conference centre and we will transfer that learning back into the classroom setting. If you know any teachers, or you yourself are interested in joining us, please let me know as soon as possible. We will all get together in Cambridge July 15th to the 17th to get to know each other, to plan and to inform you of all the ins and outs of a RATA visit to Africa.
The most impactive thing that RATA gifts to the teachers of Africa is the New Zealand teachers that we take; we need more of you!
Any feedback on our new website would be really appreciated, so please be in contact.
** Lets be honest, Glenys would be overjoyed if someone quickly responded to her first blog. **

COUNTRIES
Ghana |
 |
| We began new work in Ghana, working alongside three schools filled with students eager to learn and with little or no resources and limited trained teachers. One school is constructed of wooden planks with gapping holes. Children sit five to a table sharing a book. |
India |
 |
| We took a team of four people from New Zealand and worked in the foothills of the Himalayas with teachers from six schools under the umbrella of one organization. These schools are in mountain villages where some children have to walk 3 hours a day to attend. |
South Africa |
 |
| The RATA New Zealand teachers will fly to CapeTown with a planned stop over. In CapeTown we will revisit our favourite tourist destinations and as always we will stay in the suburb of Observatory and drink the marvelous Horlicks milkshakes at OBS café. |
