“My name is Elesia Johnson. I’m a geography teacher and I’m Jamaican,” a teacher from Bregado Flax Educational Centre told a class of Grade Seven students at Elmore Stoutt High School on Tuesday.
The teachers exchanged classrooms as part of a programme organised for Education Week, which is under way.
The idea behind the exchange was to afford participants the opportunity to see how other schools operate, according to Heida Joyles-Selwood, an education officer who is coordinating events for the week.
“Some of the teachers — like the very good teachers — wanted to go in a different environment to share their knowledge and skill with other schools who may need some development,” Ms. Joyles-Selwood said Tuesday night.
Some Cedar International School students also took advantage of the day by joining their ESHS counterparts in Grade Seven.
