About Program The one-week training program was conducted face-to-face and through Zoom. The facilitators involved Dr Yvonne Hunter-Johnson, Associate Professor, and Mr Dauran McNiel, Doctoral Student, both from Southern Illinois University (Carbondale), and Dr Novia Carter-Lookie, Assistant Professor from the University of the Bahamas. Sessions were produced to aid in developing, presenting, and managing effective training programs and enhance the candidates’ ability to build lesson plans and objectives effectively.
