Quotes from Educators about ELI

The Salem Chamber’s Education Leadership Institute (ELI) is a high-energy, fast-paced institute designed to equip and support regional educators in preparing their students for the world of employment and community service.  It was developed in 1995 by the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce.

The workshop will provide participants experience in both integrated learning, project based learning and credit by proficiency.  The workshop demonstrates how math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, science and language arts are used within the construction industry.

Experts within the energy, sustainability, design and construction industries will facilitate workshops with opportunities to apply activities to academic course work. ACE Academy teachers will be present Monday through Wednesday to share best practices from their past year at ACE.

Participants will leave with applied curriculum for their classroom and to share with their peers.

Educators in both primary and secondary education are invited to register.

Two credit hours through Portland State University, Continuing Education/Graduate School of Education may be available to participating teachers for $55 per credit ($110).

Salem Chamber’s ELI is offered annually to 15 regional educators who desire a valuable, life-impacting experience in order to prepare their students for employment.
