Teachers Training College, Thai-Burmese border E-Book
At BTI, we are passionate about making a positive difference in the world. Our educators, students and graduates live out this commitment in many ways in their individual careers and personal lives - but from time to time, an opportunity comes along for BTI to serve offshore. In 2012, BTI in partnership with the Australian organisation Effective Aid International (EAI) supported the commencement of a two year programme of preparation for teaching course on the Thai-Burmese border. Initially this programme was located in the Mae La Refugee Camp and then after one year it was re-established in a nearby village called Noh Boh. The student-teachers who have participated in the programme have come from Burma (also known as Myanmar) mainly because of economic hardships and the effects of the ethnic civil war between the Karen people and the Burmese army. This E-book not only provides an illustrated overview of the teacher training programme but also provides an authentic insight into some of the student-teachers’ lives who have graduated from the two-year course. It is hoped their experiences will encourage others who are facing similar challenges in their lives. Published 2019 |

Inspiring Stories from BTI Alumni - E-Book
As part of BTI's 25th anniversary this year we reached out to our Alumni and asked them to tell us their story. We wanted to learn about what post-graduation life looked like for our graduates, where they have been and what they have done since graduating. This e-book features over 30 inspiring stories from some of our Teacher Education graduates. "BTI has a rich history of 25 years of graduates, of which these are only a slice. But there are many others who are impacting lives, as their own lives were impacted by their experience of BTI. I commend this publication to you; you will find it moving and encouraging. I especially thank Alaster Gibson and Janette Blake for their dedication in compiling and editing it, and to all BTI staff, past and present, who have given of who they are to develop graduates for influential service" Dr Andrew Butcher CEO & Dean Published October 2018 |
