Project Teach/Konbit Pwof is offering its 7th annual professional development seminar for Haitian teachers. This years’ seminar will take place in Haiti’s famed city of poets, Jeremie.
The seminar, attended by teachers who may never have had any teacher training, covers methodology for delivering all core subjects at various grade levels, with a strong emphasis on respecting and protecting children’s rights and the importance of a teacher’s role in society.
A group of dedicated teachers and school administrators from Europe and across North America come together to form a volunteer team to deliver the seminar. We are looking for others to join with us and help. In particular we need specialists in French Language Arts, Writing, Math, Social Studies (all levels), conflict resolution, and kindergarten.

Hello. I live in a foreign country. I got my Bachelors degree in Science (in Biology) in USA. I would like to know if there is an extra need for high school teachers in USA? I would like to be a teacher, but I do not have a green card. I was teaching at the college in Florida for some time based on a temporary working visa.
I would like to know if high school principals do working visas for people like me? Feel free to e-mail me if you have some interesting answers for me.

"Oral language-the ability to communicate needs, feelings and opinions via verbal speech-is the coin-of-the-realm in today's society. One must be able to interact verbally with others and an inability to do so, can greatly hamper a child's development and independence.
For most children, oral language develops quite naturally. As the child's vocabulary and syntax emerges, he becomes better able to communicate with others and gains control of his environment. A child's failure to develop normal verbal language can create great angst for his parents and caregivers.
When a parent has concerns about the child's language development, she often turns to family members or neighbors for 'expert' advice. The counsel that is provided generally ranges from unwarranted panic to laissez-faire advice that the child 'will grow out of it.' Neither of these reactions is particularly helpful or effective.
However, The Late Talker by Agin, Geng and Nicholl provides useful, field tested advice for parents who are concerned about their child's language development. This gem of a book provides an immensely readable overview of normal language development and a thorough review of the cause of language delays and disabilities. The material offers comfort and counsel for the anxious parents.
The great strength of The Late Talker is its transdisciplinary approach to the topic. Dr. Agin offers a thoughtful medical perspective on the problem and translates the related research into understandable and useful terms. Co-author Lisa Geng provides an invaluable parental perspective on the issue by discussing the emotional reactions of the family to the child with delayed speech.
The Late Talker provides an unparalleled overview of a problem faced by families throughout America . But beyond merely defining the problems, the book offers practical advice and strategies that the reader can put into action . . . today. This book belongs in every pediatrician's office and in the bookshelf of every early childhood center in the country."

Greetings from Costa Rica. I would like to announce a course for teachers for this coming summer in Costa Rica.
Proyecto Campanario, the Institute for Central American Studies, and Lewis and Clark College have teamed up to offer an intense "Habitats and Culture of Costa Rica" course for academic or professional development credit for teachers. The hands-on course is an environmental overview of present day Costa Rica that emphasizes the natural history of its diverse landscapes as well as the language and customs of the people. Teachers will journey across Costa Ricas extraordinary geography: from coral lagoon to once-glaciated peaks of volcanic rock, experiencing cloud forests, lowland rainforests, and mangrove swamps. This is a rather intense "field trip".
You may read more about the course on our web site and/or write to us for a complete course descriptions and registration form.
