Former ELF Presents on Project Based Learning for Access Students in Rustavi
On September 29, Judy Elliott, former senior ELF who had worked in Georgia for over two years, delivered an enrichment session on Project Based Learning for the Access Program students from Rustavi.
Ms. Elliott used a PowerPoint presentation about her hometown, Metuchen in New Jersey, USA to demonstrate how to develop and present a project. On the example of her presentation, Ms. Elliott demonstrated to the Access Program students how to structure presentations, what kind of information should be emphasized, how important issues can be brought to the attention of the audience, how to form the content of a presentation, how to combine informational material with visuals (photos, charts, and etc.).
According to Ms. Elliott, the students were very interested in project based learning and actively participated in the session. By the end of the meeting, Ms. Elliott suggested that the Access Students start to work on a project called Career Planning. She shared the modules she had developed on Career Choices and gave the students and teachers tips on how to develop a career in Georgia. According to the Access Program teachers, it is quite possible that the next enrichment session will be devoted to Career Planning in Georgia and the United States.

Success Stories
 Dianne Zhambakhidze was once a shy and silent student, but that was before she enrolled in Access. It took her nearly a year to find her voice, but now she is one of the most helpful and friendly members of the group. Peers admire her diligence and hard work and always pay extra attention to what she has to say in class when she answers questions and gives advice on homework problems. > More Second rotation of the Access program in Adjara region of Georgia started with its own set of challenges. After consultations with PH, “Changes without Borders” the implementing partner of the Access program decided to cast the participatory net wider to the outer and more remote locations of Adjara. The level of education and achievement among youth, in those remote locations, is lower than that in the Batumi public schools. Although over 200 applications were received, general starting level of language competencies among the selected 25 Access students was dramatically low. The majority of students could hardly read in English > More  |
