CUSO-VSO: Cluster In-service Trainer & Non-Formal Education Advisor

CUSO-VSO
Cluster In-service Trainer & Non-Formal Education Advisor

ABOUT CUSO-VSO
CUSO-VSO is a non-profit development agency that works through volunteers. Each year, we send hundreds of global citizens to work on collaborative development projects in more than 20 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean. We are one of North America’s leading international development organizations that works through volunteers.

ABOUT THE PARTNER
Assaita CTE was founded in 2006, and has a young, enthusiastic but inexperienced staff. There are currently five schools in the cluster attached to the college: three are in the town; two are some distance out. The students in the CTE do their practicum (teaching practice) in these schools. The cluster had been working with a USAID project, BESO-BEP (Basic Education Strategic Objective II – Basic Education Project) on formal continuous assessment; this came to a completion in 2007, but should provide a good foundation on which to build.

THE VOLUNTEER’S ROLE
The volunteer taking up this role will be expected to pilot, experiment, and explore appropriate approaches sensitive to the lives of pastoralist communities. The volunteer will be able to draw upon the additional professional experience of the other Cluster in-service teacher trainers based elsewhere in Ethiopia.
