IAPE offers three different programs:
IAPE Teachers’ Collaborative US
IAPE Teachers’ Collaborative Mexico
IAPE Intensive English
These three programs provide teacher trainings in 30 Mexican States and
through annual sessions at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire to
empower English language educators across Mexico to be leaders in their
schools and mentor colleagues to inspire their students to master English.
30 IAPE-trained teachers trained their peers as instructors and facilitators
in IAPE programs in Mexico and the United States. Rassias techniques
were delivered to even more teachers through peer workshops delivered
by IAPE teachers in 12 states across Mexico. And IAPE participants wrote
an exciting 3 PhD dissertations, 10 Master’s theses and 1 undergraduate
thesis on the impact of IAPE and the Rassias Method in Mexico.

STEM Brasil began as a pilot project in Recife in 2009. Since then, the
program, which provides teacher trainings to Science and Math
professionals in secondary schools, has expanded to 3 Brazilian states and
impacted over 110,000 students each year.
In 2014, the program was revolutionized by training teacher coordinators,
Professor Coordenador de Núcleo Pedagógico (PCNP for short), along
with teachers. These teacher coordinators then provided trainings
throughout their school networks, allowing STEM Brasil’s reach to impact
even more schools, teachers and students than ever before.
STEM Brasil has grown exponentially throughout the years. The Virtual
Online Platform (CAV) has been buzzing with posts and interactions from
STEM Brasil-trained educators and will see even more activity in 2015
when STEM Brasil begins trainings in Rio de Janeiro.
STEM Brasil Program Profile
Goal: To dramatically improve teaching standards so that public school
students can go to college and pursue interests and careers in
economically critical engineering and technical fields.
Launched in: 2009
Locations: Recife, Pernambuco and
Araraquara, São Paulo and
Rio Grande do Sul.
Number of teachers participating to-date: 1,800

itself cannot change society, neither can
society change without Education.’ It is
necessary to build bridges and
partnerships among many different
sectors and STEM Brasil is here to
propose a very important partnership.”

“It is very cool to handle all the equipment,
learning about the products and knowing
that many of them are valuable to our daily
lives.”
- Matheus Godoi Francisco - second year
student
“Lab classes are always productive
because we get our hands dirty, we build
more knowledge and all of the students
relate theory with practice.”

11. Partner Schools and After-School Programs
Since Worldfund’s inception in 2002, Worldfund has supported schools
from all over Latin America.
Today Worldfund provides scholarships to the neediest students at
three beacon schools, located in Argentina, El Salvador, and Mexico.
Life-lines to their communities, these schools provide rigorous academics
as well as community outreach that includes parent training, home visits,
a health clinic, and healthy meals.
The schools’ success in helping students buck severe odds is evident in
their low drop-out rates and high percentage of graduates that go on to
college or another form of tertiary education.
The schools’ success would not be possible without the amazing
leaders and teachers of Mano Amiga Santa Maria in Argentina, Mano
Amiga Chalco in Mexico and Mano Amiga San Antonio in El Salvador.

12. What’s Next In 2015
We will be revolutionalizing our Metrics and
Evaluation protocol for all programming.
STEM Brasil will be expanding to a new state
