TRAINING COURSE FOR THE SCHOOL STUDENTS OF "SANTINA GUSMINI ONLUS"
“ If you make plans for a year, sow wheat.
If you make plans for a decade, plant a tree.
If you make plans for a life, train and educate people.”
Ancient chinese proverb, 645 BC.
The Association aims to realize, in particularly poor countries, a school for kindergarten teachers, able to train new teachers to be sent in villages or communities of the chosen nation, especially in need of a nursery.
The training will last for a year and aims to provide the students with the main elements, theoretical and practical, to enable them to perform at the village the role of teacher for children up to six years.
The training will consist of two modules of 6 months each, for a total of 12 months; in both, forms of training will be provided, so that the students can experiment and put into practice the elements learned in the theoretical lessons.
The lessons of the first module cover several theoretical subjects: psychology, general pedagogy, special pedagogy, pedagogy of human rights, all essential to create a basic culture needed to know, understand and interpret the behavior of children and especially knowing how to adapt to them, reacting in difficult situations.
The lessons of the second module will focus, conversely, aspects of teaching and practical aspects too, trying to give the students practical ways of intervention. The proposed themes will try, as much as possible, to consider the operating conditions in which the students will act. So the proposed subjects will be: childcare, education, children’s literature, pediatric first aid, hygiene.
The students, at the end of the course, will have the necessary tools to be able to ensure the child up to six years, a basic training and accompaniment for the proper and balanced development.

The pedagogical paradigm we want to propose, is that it considers essential to act in a personalized manner to each person in training, to respond appropriately to the different training needs and to the real paths of development implemented by each, to encourage and support equal dignity of everybody, genuine equality of opportunity to enhance personality, individual skill and intelligence, according to the positioning of the child in the world and of the participation in the culture of his own people.
With this perspective, the children are helped to grow according to their ability and respecting their development time; to achieve this, however, it is necessary to train those who support and accompany the growth process.
The main lesson will be:
