Teacher Training |
Every year the six teachers of the Deaf Development Programme gather for teacher training. Two of those weeks are in August, during the long break observed by Cambodian schools. This year the training took place in one of the classrooms at the DDP office in Phnom Penh. |
The teachers worked at the training from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Here some of the teachers take a break in mid morning. | |
Celina Campas (maroon shirt) is a Maryknoll Lay Missioner advisor to the DDP education project. She prepared this year's training and taught much of it herself. | |
The DDP teachers are located in the provinces of Kampot, Kampong Cham, and Kampong Chhnang as well as in Phnom Penh. | |
Deth Bunthok (end of table) is the education project officer and he led several of the sessions with the teachers he supervises and monitors. | |
DDP has six really well-trained teachers. They received basic teaching certificates from government institutions and then were taught deaf education by DDP. | |
Mr. Sem Von is a Khmer-English intepreter and translator. During these weeks he served as voice interpreter for Celina but he also translates the texts for our sign language handbooks. |
