Province:: Imbabura province
Commitment:: minimum 3 weeks
Type of position:: Teaching position
Description: We work with small rural schools, called Unidocentes or Pluridcoentes meaning there is just 1 or 2 teachers. These schools have between 20 and 55 pupils whom are normally taught in just 1 or 2 classrooms. As the age range is from 4-11 yrs this provides quite a challenge for the teaching staff, managing between 3 and 6 grades simultaneously. Simply the presence of a volunteer will help alleviate the daily pressures. You will take charge of either a class or a group under the teachers guidance.
Requirements: Some basic Spanish language skills, a big bag of enthusiasm and miles of smiles.
