On January 21st the Baltimore Curriculum Project hosted a delegation of nine teachers and administrators from South and Central America who are traveling throughout the U.S. on a three-week program entitled Primary and Secondary Education: Preparing Students for Success and Citizenship.
The program, arranged by the World Trade Center Institute, explores the role education plays in strengthening the civic principles that are the foundation of U.S. society. The visitors came to Maryland to participate in an in-depth investigation of the school system in Baltimore and its steady and consistent path towards effective learning through its recent reform.
The Baltimore Curriculum Project engaged the delegation in a discussion about charter schools and our work converting traditional public schools into neighborhood charter schools. Three U.S. Department interpreters acted as translators during the discussion.
BCP was proud to host educators from Argentina, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay and Peru. Last year BCP hosted a tour of Hampstead Hill Academy for a delegation from Vietnam.
We would like to thank the World Trade Center Institute, Janine Downey, and all of the delegates for the wonderful visit.
