International Education Program
The International Education Program (IEP) was established during the 2005-2006 school year by Miami-Dade County Public Schools and in support by the Cultural Center of Brazil (Centro Cultural do Brasil).
IEP presents selected students in first through fourth grades with a unique opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of Brazilian culture and their official language. Students are chosen by their homeroom teacher based on levels of proficiency in the Portuguese language. The students are also chosen based upon their ability to display positive behavior and attitudes across subject areas.
The International Education Program curriculum is divided by ten units of study. These units focus on the development of oral and written communication and the understanding of the cultural aspects that play a role in language. Each unit culminates a final project. The final projects allow students to display their understanding of the units through the completion of individual projects delineated by both their peers and their teachers. The projects consist of hands on activities that give the students the opportunity to actively manipulate their learning process.
The following table displays the units International Education Program will follow during the 2006-2007 school years.
