INTENSIVE COURSE FOR TEACHERS OF ENGLISH (ICTE)

Enhancing Leadership and Peer Training

About the Project PH International has partnered with the World Learning SIT Graduate Institute, under the Intensive Course for Teachers of English program (ICTE), funded by the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi.

ICTE’s goal is to create a cadre of highly qualified, confident professionals who are committed to actively contributing to the development of Georgia’s English language teaching and learning communities. Major components of the program are:

- U.S. based Training of Trainers Summer Institute (TOTSI) - Georgia based Teacher Training Summer Camp (TTSC) - Follow-on activities

What is Training of Trainers Summer Institute (TOTSI)? Scheduled to take place in August 2013 and August 2014, the U.S.-based Training of Trainers Summer Institute (TOTSI) is an intensive 18-day experience that upgrades professional teaching and administrative skills of experienced primary and secondary level Georgian ESL teachers; gives them first-hand cultural experience and knowledge of American life; and prepares these teachers to work with their colleagues and peers in learner-centered and content-driven modern approach to English language learning. TOTSI will take place on the campus of World Learning- School for International Training (SIT) in Brattleboro, State of Vermont, USA. Upon successful completion of TOTSI, participants will receive World

Learning SIT Essentials in Teacher Training Certificate. This constitutes part one of a two-part certification process, with the second part - Core Practitioner in Teacher Training Certificate - awarded when teachers successfully implement their follow-on action plans and report back upon completion. PH will hold a debriefing session in Georgia within a week of participants’ return and will monitor the fulfillment of TOTSI alumni’s action plans throughout the following academic year.

Who can apply?

In 2013, TOTSI participants will be competitively selected from a pool of public school English language teachers that have successfully participated in English Language through Civic Education (ELCE) Program implemented by PH International and funded by the US Embassy in Tbilisi. In 2014 ELCE program alumni as well as the graduates of ICTE program Teacher Training Summer Camp (TTSC) that hold Advanced Practitioner in TESOL certificate will also qualify for TOTSI participation.

What is Teacher Training Summer Camp (TTSC)?

Scheduled to take place in July 2013 and July 2014, Teacher Training Summer Camp (TTSC) will give participating primary and secondary level English teachers a week of specialized training in modern learner-centered teaching techniques for language learning and supplementary lessons and materials that reinforce English language acquisition through content on American and western culture and civic values, as well as offer applied learning opportunities with students in the English language summer camp.

The first week of TTSC consists of an intensive 30-hour residential program with English language teachers from public schools across the country. The second week is an English language summer camp with 60 students in grades 7-12 and provides teacher trainees with an opportunity to apply their learning, observe others, critique performance, and have additional 20 hours of instruction to advance their mastery of core skills. Upon completion of TTSC, participating teachers will be awarded with World Learning SIT Essentials in TESOL Certificate. TTSC graduates, who successfully implement their work plans and complete their professional development, will receive Advanced Practitioner in TESOL Certificate from World Learning SIT Graduate Institute. Teacher Training Summer Camp graduates, who hold Advanced Practitioner in TESOL Certificate, will qualify to participate in the U.S. based Training of Trainers Summer Institute in 2014.
