The Cultural and Academic Enrichment Program (CAEP) represents a dynamic and positive supplementary education program.

The Black Educators

Association (BEA) through the Regional Educator’s Program and the Education Committees (in partnership with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development), have developed the CAEP as a pro-active, multi-purpose, peer tutoring program for African Canadian elementary and secondary school students. The program provides programming focused on cultural awareness, knowledge of self and community, basic and academic skills (with specific emphasis on math and reading). We strongly encourage parental involvement. Programs are held in a loving, caring, and effective learning environment.

Reporting to the Regional Educator (RE), the Site Coordinator (SC) will be responsible for the day to day operation and supervision of the CAEP site. In consultation with the RE, the SC will work to develop relationships with local schools to determine learning needs and strategies for learners in the program. The SC will ensure that all staff is prepared for learner sessions by using a variety of lesson plans in order to achieve program outcomes and themes.

Finally, SC’s are to adhere to the completion of all reports and promptly send to the RE on the deadline requested.
