| Touch Sophy began teaching at DDP in the first group of teachers. She is now the Project Officer for the Basic Education Project. |
 |
| Two of the teachers preparing an assignment during class. |
 |
| All the DDP teaching is done in Cambodian Sign Language so the teacher training always involves further training in sign language. |
 |
| One part of the training was for the teachers to meet with Neang Thary, the DDP accountant, to hear her explanation of different forms and procedures for finances at DDP. |
 |
| During the teacher training, the school is closed and the students have a long vacation. After the training period, the teachers enjoy another week off before returning to the classroom. |
 |
| Two teachers learning new signs. |
 |
| Tashi Bradford is DDP's resident sign language linguist. A teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, DC, Tashi is with DDP for about two years. Here she helps the teachers learn the basics of signing as a language. |
 |
| The teachers appreciate the language training which helps them communicate more readily with their students and to teach in greater depth. |
 |
| Sometimes during the training, deaf people who serve as sign language teachers for DDP came to the training to work with the teachers in small groups. |
 |
| Celina Campas designed and organized all the teacher training. Her efforts have made the DDP teachers literally six of the best teachers in Cambodia. |
 |
| Toward the end of the training, a group discussion helped the teachers to reflect on what they had learned in the two weeks in Phnom Penh. |
