Good education is globally acknowledged as an essential platform for developing a healthy nation.
The physical distance of the Galapagos Islands to the Ecuadorian mainland (1000km to the east) means that access to basic resources such as the provision of new teaching methods/materials and sharing best practices are huge challenges in themselves.
One primary aim for Galapagos ICE is to help teachers to help themselves.
We are looking for experienced teachers: who can work with Galapagos teachers to recognize, develop and build best practice and can help to offer guidance and support in areas such as classroom management, recognizing and developing strategies for Special Educational Needs such as dyslexia and ADHD; and assessments for learning.
Additionally any teachers with specialist skills: our main focus is English language classes for ESL teachers and students, however we are also looking for teachers in Environmental Education to work with our Green School Initiative. Galapagos ICE also works with sport programs and continue to look for volunteers to give workshops to PE teachers.
English as a Foreign Language (EFL): is becoming increasingly important. We are keen to attract EFL certified teachers to help build our program of after school classes, including curriculum content, design of sessions and delivery of the program.
