EI Revises CHE Program, Offers Certification to High School Educators
 

EAST LANSING, Mich., April 1998�A new, improved version of the Certified Hospitality Educator (CHE) program offered by the Educational Institute (EI) of the American Hotel & Motel Association will be introduced this April, Robert T. Foley, EI�s president and CEO, has announced.

Revisions to the program include a stronger focus on interactive activities, more opportunities for feedback from workshop instructors, and clearer, simpler pre-workshop preparation materials.  The CHE workshop, offered over four-day period, allows instructors in hospitality programs to network with other educators as they discover new ways to add variety to their presentations, keep students� attention with support media, enhance learning with interactive teaching methods, and improve classroom communication.

Foley also announced that high school instructors who teach a hospitality curriculum, such as the Educational Institute�s Lodging Operations Program (LOP), are now eligible to earn the CHE designation.  Previously, the program had been open only to full-time and part-time instructors in post-secondary hospitality programs.

 Workshops preparing educators for the CHE exam are offered throughout the world.  This year, workshops will be held at U.S. sites including Tucson, Ariz.; New Orleans, La.; Miami, Fla.; Milwaukee, Wis.; Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and Houston, Tex.  Internationally, classes will be offered in Norway, South Africa, Switzerland, and India.  Workshops continue to be added to the schedule.  Call 517-372-8800,  fax 517-372-5141, or email [email protected] for a current workshop schedule and CHE application.

Established in 1952 as a nonprofit educational foundation of AH&MA, the Educational Institute is the world�s largest hospitality communication resource center, providing quality training and educational materials for the hospitality industry.
