Character and Education Institute (CEI)

Character And Education Institute (CEI) was founded in April 2008 and works with local elementary school provide 5 day camp for 10-year-old students. CEI course mainly focuses on the cultivation of core character and key abilities, as well as improvement of English interest and ability.
Aims :
• To expand our students' views and knowledge of the world.
• To set an example for the students.
• To show the students that learning English can be fun!
The English team is expected to:
• Help look after and interact with the students on the playground when the students are let out for their 10 min. break time between each 40 min. class period.
• Help serve lunch to the students. The volunteer may ask to help with other meals if they want to.
Work schedule:
• Work hours at CEI are from 8:00am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday. The English team is expected to be in the office or classroom during these hours. In addition to day classes, the English team is scheduled to teach an evening class from 7:00-8:00 pm twice per week. During Camp weeks, volunteers may leave on Fridays at 3:00pm instead of 5:00 pm because they have put in these two evening hours earlier in the week.
• Lunch break and rest time is from 12:30-1:30. English volunteers may go to their dorms if they wish to during this time after they have helped serve lunch to the students.
• There will be some weeks scheduled each semester as office weeks with no students, and these are usually used for lesson planning, work training, and staff activities. The English Team Leader will assign work projects and communicate with the volunteer's campus about what meetings or activities the volunteer is required to be present for that week. Volunteers may also do personal projects or work during this time if they are finished with any school related assignments. Work hours during office weeks are from 8:00am – 5:00pm, Monday to Friday.
