Mission: Providing culturally sensitive professional development for teachers worldwide.
Programs: Providing k-12 us teacher (local) professional development, including leadership training, mentoring, and pairing teachers with international schools. Us teachers are given the opportunity to travel to developing countries where they experience another culture firsthand. The resulting encounters create relationships and insights that are carried back into us classrooms. With connections continuing online, cultural awareness is enhanced.
providing k-12 international teacher professional development, including leadership training, mentoring, partnerships with us teachers, and in-classroom support. Teachers in developing countries have the opportunity to learn new classroom strategies to make their mathematics instruction more engaging and culturally relevant. Because student retention is often a problem, focusing on student-centered instruction and group discussion creates engagement.
providing professional development workshops for teachers in countries outside the us. University faculty and senior teachers with education expertise implement one- to four-day workshops for interested teachers internationally. These workshops primarily focus on mathematics instruction.
