Before travelling to Anguilla, our project began with an orientation session in…

…Ottawa

Teams met at the Canadian Teachers Federation Administration’s Office for a three day orientation~

Each team had an opportunity to spend an afternoon with a representative of their host country

in order to become acquainted with the country~

On July 10th, the teams left Ottawa for Africa, Mongolia, and the Caribbean~

Page 5: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

I went to Anguilla with 3 other teachers from Nunavut, the Yukon and Ontario~

Anguilla... …is the most northerly of the leeward islands in the Eastern Caribbean

Page 7: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

The island is 3 miles wide and 16 miles long with a population of about 15,000~

Page 8: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

We were warmly welcomed by the Anguilan people…

…and the Anguilla Teachers’ Union, the co-tutors and teachers~

Page 14: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

The island is known for its beautiful white sand beaches, turquoise waters, snorkeling and diving~

Page 15: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

Its main industry is tourism~

Page 16: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

The island is safe and hospitable. Everyone we encountered was courteous and helpful~

Page 17: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

In the process of our discussion, I invited her daughter to join us at the workshop. She was pleased with

the invitation and took me up on it~

My co-tutor had brought her

nursing baby and her

daughter, who was busy

sketching a masterpiece…

On a hot Friday afternoon, soon after we had arrived in Anguilla, I found myself in the Technology and Communication classroom for a planning session~

Page 18: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

Being a small island, word-of-mouth had spread quickly!

On Monday morning, many teachers came to the workshops with their children…

…the builders of the future!

Page 20: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

~Bringing their children to the workshop seemed to fit very much with the Caribbean way of life~

Page 21: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

Typically, the day began with an

assembly led by Marilyn Hodge~

Page 22: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

Participants and guests were invited to take

part in the opening exercise…

Page 23: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

…to sing

Page 24: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

…to tell a story

Page 25: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

…to share a poem

Page 26: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

My team and I taught alongsideco-tutors and gave workshops on…

…technology and communication

Page 31: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

I was responsible for the technology and communication

workshop…

…the teachers’ initial uncertainty turned to awe when they had accomplished something they had thought

was impossible~

Page 32: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

Some helped other teachers~

Teachers also discovered things that I didn’t know, so we learned

and shared together~

An older teacher came in early each morning to show me

pictures of her family, grandchildren, the life she led as a young girl and important

milestone as an adult~

Our team met with Mr. Rodney Rey, an

Education Ministry official, who was supportive of

Project Overseas and the workshops

Page 37: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

At the Anguilla Radio Station we were interviewed by

Mr. Ken Hodge

Page 38: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

Each morning, we awoke…to the call of the rooster’s crow

…to a brilliant blue sky…to the turquoise ocean~

Page 39: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

Each day, we walked to school, getting to know the local people and a bit about daily life~

Page 40: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

Anguilla’s beauty, spirit and charm fits very much with what the locals call their little island

“tranquility wrapped in blue"

Page 41: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

As part of the web of humanity we are all connected in some way

In this case our web of friendship is formed

Project Overseas is a joint professional development initiative of the CANADIAN TEACHERS’ FEDERATION and Member

organizations commonly referred to as PO~

Team Anguilla

Page 43: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

The Project involves Canadian teachers who volunteer their time and talents to assist in raising the academic and professional qualifications of teachers in developing countries~

Page 44: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

50 teachers from across Canada were accepted by CTF to participate in Project Overseas to professionally assist fellow teachers in 13 developing countries ~Africa, Mongolia and the Caribbean~ for July and August 2007

Page 45: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

The primary purpose of Project Overseas is to improve the quality of education in developing countries~

Page 46: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

Professional development is the primary

focus…

Page 47: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

…and the goal is improved teaching and learning for students around the world~

Page 48: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

Working towards quality public “Education for All” is the driving

force behind the project~

Page 49: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

In addition to raising the profile of the teacher organization in the developing country, Canadian teachers learn from their host country colleagues and each other~

Page 50: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

This year alone, 1,691 teachers in 13 countries received in-service training~

Page 51: Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~ Faces of Anguilla ~~ a common thread ~~

Since 1962, 1,882 Canadian teachers have participated in Project Overseas, working with close to 100,000 teachers around the world~

When connecting through the ~heart, the mind~ anything’s possible!
