[michelle shaw]

Hello OLPC Rwanda Learning Team

My name is Michelle Shaw. I am the educational director of HOPE:  
Rwanda, a not-for-profit organisation. For the past 6 years we have  
worked directly with the Ministry of Education in Rwanda in the up- 
skilling and training teachers and trainers in Rwanda.

Our primary focus is working with current training needs within a  
Rwanda's education system and  developing strategic training content  
to meet these needs.

Our past achievements include:
implementing a 3 year teacher trainer pathway to train existing  
targeted teachers as National Trainers for the Ministry of  
Education(over 600 teachers )
retraining existing primary teachers in Rwanda in Nursery education to  
set up and run local nursery schools
implementing special education training for Rwandan teachers

Our 2010 projects include:
Assisting MINEDUC develop the English curriculum teacher training  
materials to retrain 31000 Rwandan teachers in the next 2 years to  
teach in English
Using a moodle for a teacher mentor program with existing leaders in  
education
Training middle management in MINEDUC( District Inspectors  and heads  
of TTC's-Teacher Training Centres) in student centred learning and ICT
Training lecturers at KIE(Rwanda's tertiary institution for B.Ed-  
Secondary teachers) in ICT in education
Co-Writing the module for the B. Ed (Secondary) at KIE in ICT in  
education

I am a great believer in organisations working in synergy together,  
each bringing their part.  I will be in Rwanda during July  
coordinating our projects at KIE and MINEDUC.
I would like to possibly arrange a meeting with the coordinator of the  
Laptop and Learning Centre regarding ways we could work together in  
the future.

I look forward to your reply.
