School Strengthening Program

We support the work of UNETE throughout Mexico. Our fundraising efforts in the United States and globally directly fund the programs in schools all over the country.
These programs empower teachers through the integration of technology in their classrooms. This takes place through the support of a facilitator who is present in the school for one full academic school year.

Population(s) Served
Children and youth
Academics

This program develops the digital skills of teachers and students by equipping media labs with technology devices, providing access to digital educational content, advice and technical support.

Population(s) Served
Children and youth

This UNETE program invites teachers and managers to apply for a training scholarship and a certification to demonstrate competence in educational technology through the Educator N1 certification from Google for Education.

A teacher certified in digital skills has a greater opportunity to impact the learning of their students, since they are able to use technology as a tool to guide pedagogical activities in less time and with educational impact.

Our program seeks to train teachers and managers in the use and application of Google for education tools in the teaching-learning process through the exploration of basic aspects and sample tests that allow the development of digital skills and prepare them for the certification test.

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Data
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
Policies and processes
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
