On the 28th of January, the CIE organized a monthly training session for all its 16 visiting teachers. At the meeting, all of the teachers shared their experiences in which they spoke of events at schools and at the CIE, which led to successful learning results for students. At the same time, they explained some of the challenges and issues they encounter and discussed how these can be best resolved. Many of them expressed their appreciation of the support received from schools and the CIE to help them overcome challenges, especially for those who have just arrived at Edmonton. All the visiting teachers indicated that they felt fortunate to have the opportunity to work at the CIE and they felt very much at home.
At this moment, CIE has 16 visiting teachers, 6 working at the CIE and 10 working at 10 different schools. Many schools highly value the support they are receiving from the visiting teachers who are assisting with their Chinese programs.
