Sponsor Teacher Training
Training for the teachers in the schools receiving computers is essential to ensure that they make effective use of the resources we provide.
Few of the staff in the schools where we are setting up computer laboratories are confident in using and maintaining computers. They need support to make the best the use of computers in their lessons, to help their students to acquire digital literacy and to enhance teaching and learning in all subjects.
The Turing Trust works with its partners in Malawi to deliver some basic training at the time of the set up of the computer laboratory and to deliver more detailed workshops for the teachers in each of the regions where we have equipped schools with computers.
Sponsorship of £5000 will provide:
The salary of one of our crucial IT trainers
Travel costs needed to run courses for teachers in all the regions we support
Your sponsorship will be acknowledged in the training materials used for each course run by the IT trainer, a set of photos from the training workshops the IT trainer has run, and a certificate of recognition.
