As
we know South Sudan already has its educational system, my plans when I go back
is first to review the policy that exist and then see how to improve it, I will
focus on the weakness and see how I can help in making it a better opportunity
for teaching and learning then I will participate effectively in its
development and act as an agent of change .I will contribute in the curriculum
development and introduce the different teaching methodologies that will help
in making effective teaching, I will also be a role model to the women and
ladies in that state and play a big role in the community development by
empowering women and making them engage in different activities that will also
contribute to the nation building especially
by making English trainings for Arabic speakers.
While at the university level I will play a vital role in departmental decisions and help in designing the curriculum that will meet the needs of the students and introduce the learners center method regardless of the class size because the lessons I have learned from Indiana University has build and developed my professional skills and has prepared me to be a creative teacher, flexible, resourceful, open minded and tolerant.
So ladies, don’t you think the lessons we have learned from Indiana University have really prepared us for making change in the educational system of South Sudan?
Lucy, I really like your plan of going home and introduce effective ways of teaching. And I believe that effective teaching makes learning enjoyable. I would like also to know some of the strategies you have developed that will help you achieve this dream.

ReplyDeleteIt does Lucy, I appreciate the plans you have and most interesting is the way you have thought of reviewing the Policy which is important. We have a lot to do with policies and with the knowledge we have acquired,getting alternatives and confronting a trade off will not be a big problem to us, hence, instead of hiring expatriates from the neighboring countries, we shall do that ourselves. you are an amazing role model and continue with that spirit. since you had been working in the department of language, you will surely be a resourceful person to conduct in regards to English Training and Curriculum designing for language . have you also thought of ways of helping the graduate students who are Arabic pattern? think of that.
ReplyDeleteyes we can do it Lucy. Because we have a power to achieve these goals in our country South Sudan. As we learnt that in leadership class, if you have a power strengthen others. We want to work hard to show our people what knowledge we got from program.
