IAPE Intensive English Program.

Credit Suisse volunteers, Erge Hodanci and Gaetano Fornelli, provided Mentoring

Workshops in São Paulo.

All LISTO program content and evaluations were delivered online.

STEM Brasil expanded to a new state - Rio Grande do Sul.

Over the last 12 months, the number of teachers collaborating and sharing best

practices with their peers on the IAPE online Forum has doubled.

The LISTO Program piloted an evaluation project where parents, teachers and students

evaluated school culture.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////IAPE offers three different programs:

IAPE Teachers’ Collaborative US IAPE Teachers’ Collaborative Mexico IAPE Intensive English

These three programs provide teacher trainings in 30 Mexican States and through annual sessions at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire to empower English language educators across Mexico to be leaders in their schools and mentor colleagues to inspire their students to master English. 30 IAPE-trained teachers trained their peers as instructors and facilitators in IAPE programs in Mexico and the United States. Rassias techniques were delivered to even more teachers through peer workshops delivered by IAPE teachers in 12 states across Mexico. And IAPE participants wrote an exciting 3 PhD dissertations, 10 Master’s theses and 1 undergraduate thesis on the impact of IAPE and the Rassias Method in Mexico.

Since 2012, the Inter-American Development Bank has been studying the Worldfund IAPE Intensive English Program and evaluating its effectiveness.

In October of 2014, the final results were release and found a 10-week improvement in student performance when taught by an IAPE trained teacher!

1A 5-day summer induction course focused on team building and

leadership.

2 A series of nine workshops over the school year that provide training in

planning, school management and leadership.

3 Worldfund coaches support the principals as they bridge theory and

practice, evaluate their progress and implement strategic plans.

“Learning about collaborative planning at our Consejos Técnicos has opened up my

eyes to new ways of communication.”

- Leonor Turnbull, Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz

“In each one of my activities as Principal, one can see the LISTO standards of how

to be a transforative leader.”

- Flor de Maria Santos Cruz Principal, Chiapas

“Since we had our intensive course, I can recognize the real value that I have as a person and the importance of my role in building a school culture that promotes

collaborative learning.”

- Julian Ricardo Jiménez de la CruzPrincipal, Chiapas

“I appreciate the opportunity of being able to do what is enjoyable for me: Working within education in favor of education.”

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////STEM Brasil began as a pilot project in Recife in 2009. Since then, the

program, which provides teacher trainings to Science and Math professionals in secondary schools, has expanded to 3 Brazilian states and

impacted over 110,000 students each year.

In 2014, the program was revolutionized by training teacher coordinators, Professor Coordenador de Núcleo Pedagógico (PCNP for short), along

with teachers. These teacher coordinators then provided trainings throughout their school networks, allowing STEM Brasil’s reach to impact

even more schools, teachers and students than ever before.

STEM Brasil has grown exponentially throughout the years. The Virtual Online Platform (CAV) has been buzzing with posts and interactions from STEM Brasil-trained educators and will see even more activity in 2015

when STEM Brasil begins trainings in Rio de Janeiro.

STEM Brasil Program Profile

Goal: To dramatically improve teaching standards so that public school students can go to college and pursue interests and careers in economically critical engineering and technical fields.

“Paulo Freire used to say that ‘Education itself cannot change society, neither can society change without Education.’ It is

necessary to build bridges and partnerships among many different sectors and STEM Brasil is here to

propose a very important partnership.” - Fulvio Severino - Biology Trainer

“It is very cool to handle all the equipment, learning about the products and knowing

that many of them are valuable to our daily lives.”

- Matheus Godoi Francisco - second year student

“Lab classes are always productive because we get our hands dirty, we build more knowledge and all of the students

relate theory with practice.”

- Taynara Marchizeli, Tailla Andressa Assunção e João Vitor Silva de Souza -

second year students

“STEM Brasil’s help was essential to our success. I hope this continues in 2015.”

- Ieda Tricolina Negreiros - Chemistry Teacher

STEM Brasil

After schools in São Paulo began using the STEM Brasil Program:

According to the annual SARESP state examinations:

40% increase in students’ self-evaluation in Science and Math classes

85% of participating schools showed an increase in their students’ Math Scores

20% increase was reported in Math scores at schools that completed the most STEM Brasil activities

AND

Partner Schools and After-School Programs

Since Worldfund’s inception in 2002, Worldfund has supported schools from all over Latin America.

Today Worldfund provides scholarships to the neediest students at three beacon schools, located in Argentina, El Salvador, and Mexico. Life-lines to their communities, these schools provide rigorous academics as well as community outreach that includes parent training, home visits, a health clinic, and healthy meals.

The schools’ success in helping students buck severe odds is evident in their low drop-out rates and high percentage of graduates that go on to college or another form of tertiary education.

The schools’ success would not be possible without the amazing leaders and teachers of Mano Amiga Santa Maria in Argentina, Mano Amiga Chalco in Mexico and Mano Amiga San Antonio in El Salvador.

Goal: To invest in high-quality non-profit schools serving the poor throughout Latin America.

Locations: Mano Amiga Chalco - Mexico Mano Amiga San Antonio - El Salvador Mano Amiga Santa Maria - Argentina

What’s Next In 2015

We will be revolutionalizing our Metrics and Evaluation protocol for all programming.

STEM Brasil will be expanding to a new state - Rio de Janeiro.

The IAPE team is leveraging technology to enhance the teacher support network, most

recently, posting weekly “teaching tool” clips.

LISTO will become blended with on online component, allowing the program to reach

more school leaders than ever before.

There will be an independent evaluation conducted on our LISTO program.

The IAPE team is welcoming more advanced trainers to strengthen the support network

within the schools.
