The European Programmes Office in the Canary Islands, is an educational Institution which deals with the Erasmus+ Programmes and European projects for Canarian Educational Community.
They offer different teaching assistant positions in Primary, Secondary, Vocational Training, Adults and Official Schools of Languages for (undergraduate) Erasmus students. The placements in educational institutions are mainly teaching-related positions, but students can also combine the teaching activity with administrative ones if necessary. Head teachers and head of studies for example also teach so in the case there would be any student interested in doing administrative tasks, s/he could help this staff. The OPEEC will find the school that best suits so that both the institution and the student could benefit from each other.
In general terms, the Erasmus students will be actively involved in the Foreign Languages Department as well as in the daily life of the institution. S/he will assist and collaborate with teachers in their class routines, working with at least one of our teachers. There are some educational programmes running at schools, such as European programmes, sustainable programmes, active reading, etc. In Primary and Secondary education, the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) Programme is running successfully and the language chosen is English so s/he will work with CLIL teachers, designing and putting into practice activities and communicative situations which promote the improvement of our students' linguistic competence. Schools receive public funding and cannot offer any additional payment. However, some schools have a canteen and transport available for the student at no cost (or at a very reasonable price).
