An EASEL Institute, which is a combination of the tutor and educator workshops, is a 2-week interactive training to prepare a participant to be able to start a teen and adult English outreach class and use the Story Approach to teach K-12th grade. It is also appropriate for adult classes under certain circumstances. A modified Story Approach is used in our curriculum for teens and adults. A training DVD is available for the modified approach. Workshop and Institute participants will have the opportunity to apply for internships with EAC to become trainers.
An emPower Conference is a 3-day empowering conference for tutors and educators filled with times for spiritual refreshing, personal encouragement, workshops for activities and strategies, and group fellowship with colleagues. It is completely in English in order to strengthen and increase the English abilities and vocabulary of national leaders for whom English is their second, or third or more, language.
