Rural Education Development Zambia

I got my invitation yesterday!!! I am going to Zambia on February 28, 2009.

This is the jidst of what I will be doing:
If I work at the district level
working with counterparts to develop monitoring and evaluation plans
effective mentor trainings
creation of databases
plans for sensitizing communities to the nature and uses of non formal education
If I work at the zone level
collaborate with teachers and school heads to improve quality of education
teacher trainings
modeling learning-centered teaching methods
facilitating trainings
professional development for teachers and administrators

All of this includes working with local PTAs, community centers, and the Ministry of Education of Zambia.

The stuff I was sent also said that I will not have running water or electricity, and will probably live in a mud hut with a grass thatched roof.

Sounds like a blast!

Oh..and they totally have goats, pigs, cows, and chickens, so I win!
