Hey, Educators!

Welcome to another school year! This year looks vastly different for many reasons, so amidst the challenges, anxiety, and uncertainty, we're here to say: EduDeo is thinking of you and praying for you.

We're dedicated to promoting Christ-centred education around the world and that includes supporting and encouraging educators here in Canada.

One way to support you is through The Chrysalis, our school e-newsletter. It will help you bring a global perspective to your classroom by providing lesson ideas, engagement activities for your students, and international project updates. Check out this video to learn more about what you can expect in each issue: https://youtu.be/yiOscSW13xc


READY-TO-TEACH LESSON PLANS FROM EDUDEO

With every edition of The Chrysalis, we'll be sending you pre-made lesson plans to incorporate EduDeo's work and a global perspective into your classroom. We've done the work so you don't have to!

September's Lesson Plan: Why Education?

EduDeo's mission is to advance Christ-centred education for children worldwide. But why the focus on education? Why has education been called “the key to development” and “the most powerful weapon to change the world”?

UPDATE: WHAT'S HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD

Each edition of The Chrysalis will feature a short handout on what's happening with a few of EduDeo's partners.

September's Update: Just like you, teachers in EduDeo's partner countries have struggled to meet the challenges of remote learning during a pandemic. Read more about how teachers in the Dominican Republic are rising to the challenge.
