Summary
Uter has been involved with the Ambassador Teacher Program for the past five years after hearing about it while teaching at Warsop Primary and Infant School.
Uter is one of several ambassador teachers here in Prince Edward County Schools.
The program helps fill in some gaps for the district, as these teachers take over roles that had been previously open.
"The teacher ambassador program provides PECPS a very seasoned pool of teachers," said Prince Edward Superintendent Dr. Barbara Johnson.
The concept is part of the Participate Learning Program, an international-based company that seeks out teachers from different countries to foster cultural exchange in schools across Virginia, North and South Carolina.
There are many differences Uter has found during her time teaching in the U.S. One of the major differences is the resources available for U.S. teachers that most Jamaican teachers do not have access to.
According to Uter, some Jamaican classrooms can have up to 60 students per teacher and classroom teachers are not provided with paraprofessionals above the kindergarten level.
