Teacher Tuyet Xuan & A Lang TuyMy name is Nguyen Thi Tuyet Xuan, and I teach at Zo Nong primary school in Thanh My town, Nam Giang district. Before our school participated in VNHIP’s project, my class always had children with disabilities. At that time, I was confused and faced many difficulties when teaching these pupils. Their disabilities were mostly intellectual, and each child had different needs.
One of my diasbled pupil is A Lang Tuy. He is very good boy but has struggles with learning, focusing and pronuncing. It was not easy to find out which teaching method was the most suitable for him. Other teachers and I were worried about how to integrate special lessons for CWDs and ensure a fixed education plan for other children. Unfortunately, this led to pressure on us as we did not have clear and specific guidance to support CWDs in the right direction. After attending VNHIP’s project's training courses, I was glad because I had a specific method to examine CWD’s capacity and develop an education plan for them effectively. I also learned how to propose specific objectives that are closest to their learning ability in each semester. Each objective has clear indications and plans following every week and month. I no longer feel pressure because instead of trying to teach my diabled pupils as much as I can, I focus on strengthening their basic knowledge and helping them develop gradually. |
One more thing that encourages me is the increase in school and parent’s interest in supporting CWDs. Through social events such as We Ring The Bell and International Children's Day, CWDs gain more attention from the community. From then on, their parents do not feel complex about their children’s situation. They become more active and talk to teachers and ask for support.
