The Peace Corps (PC) has provided teachers for Nepal's schools for 25 years. The increasing population and especially the increased demand for educational opportunities is exceeding the supply of available trained teachers. In response to this need, PC/Nepal has shifted its emphasis in the education sector f-om providing teachers to providing teacher trainers. The purpose of this task analyses is to define this new PC role and to provide systematic information for preservice and inservice training activities. This document contains four sections: (1) task analysis; (2) job description; (3) technical training sessions; and (4) technical readings. The task analysis was developed through interviews and review of program materials and documentation. The other sections were developed based upon the task analysis. The job description, technical training sessions, and technical readings were compiled into a technical training manual which the mathematics and science trainees received during the first week of the preservice training. The la:,t two sections are organized into general teacher and mathematics/science teacher training sessions.
