Books for Teachers

Books for Teachers

Teachers in Zambia are taking more courses to meet the government
requirements for more advanced education. They do this through
"distance learning," by taking courses during the holiday months of
April, August, and December, and then writing papers from their homes.
I have had several teachers who come to me wanting my help in getting
information to write their papers and answer the questions. I am
always astounded at how they can possibly answer the questions with
very little resources/books available and for many, no access to the
internet.

So we are planning on establishing a library for teachers. We are
looking for books on a variety of subjects related to teacher
training: educational principles, educational psychology, child
development, science, political science, teaching methods, geography
(world not American), world history, early childhood, adult education,
etc, etc. These books need to be in good condition, and not so old
that the material is out of date. We also don't want any teaching
manuals that go with specific curriculum books used in the classroom.
It needs to be a stand alone book. If the book is something you think
has value that it will probably be of value to us.

Eastern Hills Community Church in Aurora, CO is putting together a
container to send to us in Zambia. If you have books that you are
willing to contribute you can ship them to:
Eastern Hills community Church; 25511 E. Smoky Hill Rd; Aurora, CO 80016.
To follow the progress of the container and to see a list of other
things being collected to send, go to www.hopecontained.com.
They plan to ship the container by the end of October, so please send
the books right away.

For any of you teaching in a school, please share about our need with
fellow teachers and see if others are willing to help teachers in
Zambia.

Thanks to all of you who send us books!!!
