learning with global colleagues?
Education Beyond Borders (formerly Teachers Without Borders Canada) is a
non-profit NGO devoted to closing the education divide through teacher
professional development and community education. We are focused on
advancing and supporting the movement for educators and advocates for
education to do our part in supporting our colleagues and their students in
disadvantaged regions here at home and around the world.
We are a Canadian-based organization who partners with other NGOs and
African organizations in order to provide professional development
opportunities for teachers at the grassroots level. Classroom connections
between our teachers are encouraged and supported.
Currently, we are seeking globally-minded teachers (from any country of
origin) to work on a team for 2-3 weeks periods in the following locations
in South Africa and Kenya for summer (northern hemisphere) of 2010:
Eastern Cape province & Cape Town, South Africa: late June to mid-July (1-2
ICT/technology teachers needed to complete our team)
Mbita/Mfangano Island, Kenya: mid-July to early August (4-5 ICT/technology
teachers needed who also have background in at least one subject area)
Laikipia District, Kenya - early to mid-August, (Math, Science, English
teachers and one ICT teacher needed)
Naivasha District, Kenya (Math, Science, English teachers and one ICT
teacher needed)
For each of these initiatives, we will be working closely with in-country
teachers who have previously attended our workshops.
If you are interested in applying for our teams, please contact Noble Kelly,
president of EBB, at noble@educationbeyondborders.org, for more information
and an application.
We have already received a number of applications, but are in urgent need of
math teachers this year. Please pass along the need!
I have been involved as a team member in all four locations in the past two
years; please don't hesitate to contact me - Sharon Peters - for more
information.
