Teachers From Guatemala Visit Bowling Green

On Nov. 3, was visited by three teachers from Guatemala. The visit was part of a partnership with the Guatemalan Literacy Project through the Nassau Reading Council (NRC), and was coordinated by reading teacher Ellen Miller, a member of NRC.

The goal of the visit was for the Guatemalan teachers to learn teaching techniques by observing and taking notes, and then bring this new found knowledge to their schools in Guatemala to improve the education and quality of life of their students.

During their visit, teachers Gladys Alicia Fuentes Guevara, Silvia Giovanna Choc Cruz, and Maria Eugenia Escobar Lemur visited Darlene O'Hearon's fourth-grade class and watched as the students reviewed a lesson prior to a math test. The next day they were off to a new location in Nassau County.
