Program
The Canadian Team of qualified teachers is assembled from all over Canada and consists of active, non-active and retired teachers.
The team works closely with elementary and secondary school teachers and administrators in the host city.
As a team member you will be relating both individually and in small groups as you teach Conversational English, and share spiritual truths.
The program requires that you will lead a small group, encourage participation and be sensitive to individual needs in a way that communicates professionalism. Special interest seminars are offered and team members are encouraged to plan and lead a seminar in an area of their expertise.
Background
At the invitation of their own Ministries of Education, Russian and Ukrainian school teachers attended Teachers' Convocations where they were introduced to a curriculum entitled "Christian Ethics and Morality: A Foundation for Society." These were one week conferences and the Canadian Team would offer two of the conferences consecutively in the same location.
Over the years, since the early 1990s, invitations have been extended by leaders within the former Soviet Union to offer the one week conferences. The need for including Conversational English became apparent and this was incorporated into the program.
The format changed to a two week program with the first week focussing on Conversational English. Relationships were developed and strengthened during the first week and this provided a solid foundation for offering the conference in the second week.
The conference title changed to "Teaching Strategies for Moral Development." The same teachers who had attended the Conversational English program were encouraged to come for the second week.
