Welcome to the Teachers Up Initiative!

The Teachers Up Initiative is funded by the U.S. Embassy in El Salvador and collaboratively implemented by  ESEN and Teachers Up. The Initiative lasts for two years, from November 2021 to November 2023.
The Initiative provides free-of-charge professional development to in-service and pre-service teachers of English from all educational settings (public, private, universities, schools, and language academies) in El Salvador. All in-service teachers of English and students majoring in Teaching English in their third year and above are invited to join the Initiative.
In 2023, the Initiative focuses on four areas: 1) English Language Proficiency; 2) Teaching English Methodology; 3) English for Tourism; and 4) Social and Emotional Health.
