Seeing the big picture
With a 40-year career as a primary school and high school teacher, a National Training Agency youth trainer, a regional training consultant for the World Association of Girl Guides & Girl Scouts, and a District Education Officer for the Grenada Ministry of Education, Gloria Bonaparte knows how to inspire children, teachers, and school principals about books, reading, and school libraries. In addition to her strong leadership qualities, Gloria knows all sides of Grenada’s school system, from the challenges of the classroom to the governmental agencies which oversee the schools. Most of all, she believes in the life-changing power of literacy and why books, reading, and a lending library must become a part of every child’s education.
