Last January, Haiti Partners began a Circles of Change group in partnership with the Power of Education Foundation school in Martisant, just outside of Port-au-Prince. The group meets each Saturday morning for an hour and a half and is made up of teachers from the Power of Education school, as well as six neighboring schools. The project goal is to both improve collaboration among school staff as well as to introduce participants to student-centered, participatory approaches to education and leadership development.

The group is going well, with regular attendance above what we were aiming for, and strong enthusiasm among participants. The group began January 26th and will continue through late July.

Haiti Partners is excited to be partnering with the Power of Education Foundation on this project and we look forward to seeing the group develop in the coming months!
