For those interested in knowing more about ELI check out this video from 2016 which provides an overview of the vision and structure.
Our overall goal is to support the professional learning of 1,000+ teachers and 100 principals so that we might impact the learning outcomes of 100,000 students in Haiti.
To see an update on how we are doing to achieve this goal, check out our 2017 video (click here).
In 2018, we will welcome 500 educators to take part in 18 courses! Thirty Canadian francophone educators will be leading these courses (in focus areas: math, science, critical literacy, special education, early learning, and leadership). We are excited that this year some of our key Haitian educators will also be instructing portions of the courses and learning more about how to facilitate instructional leadership as they take on full teaching roles for future ELI sessions.
A key component of ELI is a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) camp which will be enjoyed by 200 Haitian children. The camp is led by our Laurier university students as well as a number of other Haitian and Canadian young leaders.
ELI is an amazing partnership between Haitian and Canadian educators who are committed to becoming better teachers and globally competent educators. I am so proud of this group! It is a huge undertaking and is only possible through the concerted effort of people committed to a common cause.
I will be providing updates regularly between Aug. 4-12 as ELI takes place in Haiti. Beyond the blog, you can get more frequent updates through Twitter (@drstevesider, #LaurierHaiti) and pictures through Instagram (@drstevesider, #LaurierHaiti).
