PARAGUAY, Fundación en Alianza. In-service for teachers has been offered beginning last year through “Porãve Paraguay,” an outstanding project of Fundación en Alianza (Foundation in Covenant) of Paraguay, because “we believe that a quality education is possible by making it a priority to train the teacher.” The aims are to train the teachers in three main areas: Reading – writing, Personal Development and Management of School Violence, and to offer space for training school principals to accomplish better community development and to strengthen their leadership.
“Porãve Paraguay”
During the month of August, they worked with the theme: “Habits of a Brilliant Educator,” within the framework of “Porãve Paraguay” which Fundación en Alianza has worked with more than 115 teachers from ten public schools of greater Asunción since 2013.
The aim of this workshop was to develop specific abilities and capabilities of the teacher in regard to personal and inter-personal relationships. By reflecting on situations in daily life, they were oriented so that they could obtain tools that would help them to increase their efficiency in carrying out their tasks as educators.
