Monthly Workshops
Join us for our monthly teacher training workshops and cultural conversations
every third Friday or Saturday of the month. |
Our GoalWe believe that teacher training is essential to good education and prosperous democratic society.
Living in a tourist area with transient population has not made it easy to maintain the high-quality teaching and learning standards in the region. Seeing what is out there in the educational world is often limited and hard to get access to. It is our goal to enhance professional development opportunities and teacher training to both local and international teachers in the region, bringing a world of expertise to the North Coast of the Dominican Republic and hopefully the world. |
We're Here for You throughout the Year
|
Whether it is through a presentation, e-consulting or site visits on a regular-basis, we are here for you throughout the school year!
