It's with great joy that we share the new achievements of the Literacy Education and
Math Lab -LEMA, program that has been selected by HundrED as one of the 100
educational innovations for 2019. HundrED* is a non-governmental organization with
headquarters in Helsinki that discovers, researches and promotes impactful
innovations in education, that can scale and spread easily and that are proven to
positively impact the lives of children around the world.
On November 8th, Catalina González traveled to the Innovation Summit in Helsinki
and participated in the panel "what kind of attitude is needed to make change
happen", highlighting three attitudes: Intolerance, towards the inequality in
education that still exists today; impatience, to find faster solutions for the estimated
265 million children attending school today, and that lack basic reading and math
skills; and a touch of naiveness, to pay little attention to the many barriers that
oppose change, and to continue to do the work.
We also want to share that in the month of August, in a meeting held in Washington,
the book Leapfrogging Inequality- Remaking Education to Help Young People Thrive
by Rebecca Winthrop with Adam Barton and Eileen McGivney was realeased. In the
book published by the the Center for Education Innovation at Brookings*, LEMA-
Literacy Education and Math Lab is highlighted as one of the innovations of their
global catalog, which could help reduce inequalities, decreasing the time necessary
to overcome them.
The report highlights the main activities that are developed within the LEMA
program such as: teacher and learning coach training, and the use of playful
materials and philosophies that allow students to learn freely, at their own pace and
in a fun and active way. LEMA also stands out for facilitating collaborative and peer-
to-peer learning. Brookings is a private non-profit organization based in Washington,
dedicated to research, education and publication of important topics about domestic
and foreign policy.
