Black Star Project

Back 2

Founded in 1996 by Phillip Jackson, The Black Star Project is committed to improving the quality of life in Black and Latino communities of Chicago and nationwide by eliminating the racial academic achievement gap. Our mission is to provide educational services that help pre-school through college students succeed academically and become knowledgeable and productive citizens with the support of their parents, families, schools and communities. Additionally, we help students aspire to post-secondary educational opportunities and training while exploring careers that will be emotionally, intellectually and financially rewarding. Our services are available to all students, particularly low-income Black and Latino students who attend low-achieving schools in disadvantaged communities. In order to achieve our goal of eliminating the racial academic achievement gap, we concentrate on three main areas of initiative: student engagement, parental development and advocacy. The Black Star Project conducts its programming and varied approaches to closing the racial academic achievement gap primarily through parent and student leadership development and advocacy.

IGA (Instituto Guatemalteco Americano)

Back 13

The Instituto Guatemalteco Americano (the US-Guatemala binational center known as IGA) is one of the most well respected educational and cultural institutions in Guatemala. IGA employs more than seventy teachers to teach English to thousands of students of all ages in Guatemala City and in its satellite institute located in (known locally as Xela). In addition, IGA is considered the primary source of continuing education training for English teachers throughout Guatemala. Each year IGA organizes the National Teachers’ Conference (NTC), which provides teacher training and Teacher Training Certificate (TTC) workshops to over 900 ESL teachers and soon-to-be educators. The Ministry of Education recognizes both the NTC and the TTC as fulfilling the national requirement for continuing education training and for certification of English teachers. IGA is in the process of expanding and strengthening the English language curriculum and courses offerings at its satellite institute in Quetzaltenango (Xela), Guatemala's second largest city.IGA established a presence in Xela several years ago, but over the last two years the institute's director (along with the support by the Embassy) has focused attention and resources on transforming IGA-Xela into the leading English language institution in the Western portion of the country. Demand for English language classes in Xela is on the rise as businesses, students and professionals begin to recognize the need for English and are actively searching for effective programs.

We’ll be making a second visit to IGA (Instituto Guatemalteco Americano) in Guatemala City, to coordinate media outreach and distance learning initiatives with complimentary schools throughout the Americas.
