Spend two weeks in Guatemala assisting with the professional development of fellow teachers in the areas of bilingual education, technology for learning, and hands-on education for sustainable development.
The goal of the exchange is to improve the quality of education available to marginalized Maya indigenous students in two different communities in the western highlands of Guatemala. Before travelling, Alberta and Guatemalan teachers will connect virtually to identify priorities and plan activities.
Once in Guatemala, you will work one-on-one with teachers in the classrooms to build capacity for differentiated instruction and engaging teaching strategies that improve student learning outcomes. You will have the opportunity to learn about challenges and approaches to teaching in remote indigenous communities and the critical role of education in development.
Travel and living expenses are covered by the ATA.
Spanish language ability is an asset but not a requirement.
Application Deadline: January 15, 2025
