• W103460312 abstract "Imagine starting elementary school as a 5-year-old in a classroom where there are no picture books or chapter books. The only reading materials are government-issued textbooks and workbooks. There are no posters or sight words on the wall, just a drab and colorless environment. Your teacher takes a strict disciplinary stance in response to students' misbehavior. Now, imagine that it's five years later; you're 10 years old and attend the same school. The classroom library and the school library are filled with picture books and chapter books. Your class-room is adorned with posters reinforcing concepts you're learning and have messages that inspire you to read. Posters evoke your teacher's new proactive approach to classroom management with phrases like Macaroni and cheese--Everybody freeze! and One, two, three--eyes on me; one, two--eyes on you! that remind you and your classmates of your teacher's expectations and attention-getting strategies. You love school, you can read, and you are filled with dreams for the future. This story of transformation happened because dedicated teachers from Colorado and the Cayo District of Belize in Central America came together through a literacy advocacy program called the Belize Education Project (BEP) whose mission is Lifting Lives Through Literacy. Since 2007, BEP has raised and spent about $120,000 for the work in Belize. Multiple book drives have resulted in 16,000 books being donated to the Belizean schools. In addition, several Douglas County, Colo., schools have helped raise funds for BEP. The Prairie Crossing Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization and Mammoth Heights Elementary School Student Council held fundraisers to send books to Belize. Sixth-graders at Fox Creek Elementary School held a bake sale to pay the public school registration fees for one high school student and 20 elementary students. The beginning The vision for BEP was developed in 2007 when Jean Kirshner, a 1st-grade teacher from the Douglas County School District in Colorado, accompanied a surgical mission trip to San Ignacio, Belize. Doctors arranged for her to help at a local school in the neighboring town of Santa Elena, so Kirshner filled her luggage with books and set off to read with children. When she shared the story of a school filled with beautiful children eager to learn and teachers who had limited resources and pedagogical training, medical professionals on the trip realized Belize's prospects for producing its own doctors would be better with stronger literacy programs. That led Rebecca Knight, a surgeon, and Chris Robinson, a nurse, to join Kirshner in creating a professional development program to help lift children's lives through literacy. Teacher preparation in Belize differs a great deal from preparation in the United States. A common route into the classroom makes novice teachers of secondary school graduates, who are supervised for a year and, if successful, are given their own classrooms. They also can enroll in a certificate program that includes some of the educational foundations and methods courses common in U.S. teacher education programs. This certificate program is roughly equivalent to an associate's degree in the United States. The salary structure provides an incentive for advanced education: A teacher with the certificate earns one-third more than a secondary school graduate, and a teacher with a bachelor's degree earns double. But, under this system, an educator may teach for years without course-work in pedagogy. This means many Belizean teachers lack the skills to discover why children can't read or to respond with the variety of techniques that American teachers have learned. Each October, a team of up to 14 educators travel to the Cayo district of Belize to spend a week working with children and providing professional development workshops for 40 teachers at three primary schools in the Santa Elena area: Eden, Bullet Tree, and Hills of Promise. …" @default.
