The EntreCulturas approach to education revolutionizes teacher preparation and professional development by prioritizing experiential learning, practical application, and continuous growth. We recognize that theoretical knowledge alone is insufficient to equip educators for the complexities of today's classrooms. The Learning Policy Institute's findings on teacher attrition—driven by inadequate preparation, lack of support, and challenging conditions—underscore the urgent need for a more effective model.
At the heart of EntreCulturas is a human-centered philosophy: Connect, Practice, Reflect.
-
Connect: We cultivate a dynamic community of future educators through collaborative learning, cross-cultural exchanges, and direct partnerships with institutions like Colegio Salzmann in Bucerias, Nayarit. This collaboration provides invaluable real-world contextual learning and fosters a global perspective on education, bridging cultural divides and enriching pedagogical practices.
-
Practice: We equip students with a robust toolkit of practical strategies. EntreCulturas highly trained and experienced staff will provide one on one support to students through different workshops including:
-
Culturally responsive teaching methods, tailored to diverse student populations.
-
Effective classroom management techniques that promote positive learning environments.
-
Differentiated instruction strategies to meet the unique needs of every learner.
-
Reflect: We cultivate a culture of continuous learning through facilitating discussions, writing reflections, and informed feedback. These reflective practices empower students to analyze their experiences, refine their strategies, and deepen their understanding of their impact.
Our program transcends geographical boundaries, offering future and current educators the opportunity to explore, learn, and directly engage with students in global contexts. We provide carefully curated experiences that allow for cultural immersion and the development of a global perspective. This is done through our partner school and community program’s partnerships.
At EntreCulturas we are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where educators can thrive, fostering a ripple effect of positive change in classrooms and communities worldwide.
