Purpose statement

Student English assessments are important because they help students be in the class where they are most likely to succeed. But there are more students than one assessor can handle. You help orchestrate assessors to meet student needs and ultimate show them the grace of God in this way.

Summary of goals

  • Pray regularly for the Lord’s work in the lives of our assessors and the students we’re serving by assessing them. Pray the students would end up in the best class for them.
  • During the launch of each school year (beginning of the Fall) coordinate to have enough assessors trained and available on launch days.
  • Manage the assessors schedule so at least one assessor will be available during all class times.
  • Outside of class times, it can help (e.g. before Fall launch) to get students assessed ahead of time in order to maximize their time with us.

ESL School Welcome Team

Our ESL Schools are our most important venue for demonstrating the love of Christ to new international friends. It requires many different functions to support the small groups (ESL Classes) that meet. The members of the Operations Team provide that.

The ESL School Support Team is unique in that there are a variety of roles or “hats” that need to be worn if the School is going to be sustainable and students and volunteers are not going to fall through the cracks. Each team member will wear more than one hat and may take them on and off even during the course of one session of School on a given day.

Functions / goals the ESL School needs in order to love well. This does not include overall ESL ministry roles that cover both Schools such as mobilization, pedagogy, training, etc.

We all long to see our halls and classrooms filled with students. But before we run out to try and find new students, we need to steward well the ones God has already entrusted to us.
