The Problem Video
Across the globe, there’s an education crisis: kids aren’t learning. And without literacy and learning skills, these kids will miss the opportunities that lead people out of poverty. So we’re training teachers and fixing broken classrooms so they will work for every student who enters them, today, next year, and well into the future.
The Power of Participation
With training and support from Child Aid’s Reading for Life program, teacher Thomás Bocel ditches the rote, lecture-based techniques that are standard in elementary classrooms in Guatemala in favor of interactive, hands-on modes of learning that get kids out of their seats and raising their hands.
