Teacher training program to conclude
Courtesy of Joseph Mehling '69 A group of 40 teachers and professors from throughout Mexico will leave Hanover Thursday after attending two weeks of lectures, seminars, networking and drill instruction at the College aimed at making the attendees more effective teachers of English for their students at home. Every summer since 2007, Dartmouth's Rassias Center for World Language and Culture has partnered with Nextel de Mxico and non-profit organizations Worldfund and Bcalos to run the Inter-American Partnership for Education Teachers' Collaborative, according to James Citron '86, the program's director. IAPE was conceived four years ago by Worldfund executive director Luanne Zurlo '87, a former Wall Street executive who wanted to introduce new methods of English language teaching in Mexican schools with few resources.
