Vision

All kindergarten, primary and secondary school teachers in Mexico will be able to effectively implement the Mexican National Curriculum for English, using English as the main language of instruction and the competence-based teaching approaches and methodologies currently favoured by Mexican Ministry of Education.

Vision

All Heads of schools will understand the vision and objectives of the training project and will actively support Teacher Educators, Mentors and English teachers in the achievement of project aims, promoting activities among local authorities, parents, teachers and pupils.

Vision

All Teacher Educators trained through the project will understand the content, approach and methodology of the Mexican National Curriculum for English and will be able to provide regular and consistent training and mentoring services for teachers as well as collaborative support for each other through the electronic sharing of training materials.

Vision

All English Teachers will feel more confident in their use of English and appropriate methodologies in the classroom, will be consistently and usefully supported by the Teacher Educators assigned to their school, and will come to perceive themselves as part of a national and international network of professional teachers.

Vision The English language achievement of pupils of kindergarten, primary and secondary schools in the State of Mexico will improve, to match the aims of the Mexican National Curriculum for English, thanks to the on-going exchange of knowledge and expertise between UK and Mexican English language teaching specialists.
