Teach For Armenia is building a movement of leaders who will reshape what it means to provide an excellent education for all children across the nation. Teach For Armenia aims to cultivate students who can harness their voices and shape a changing world while being committed to their communities. This will require support at every level of leadership, from the teachers in the classroom to the highest-ranking officials. Teach For Armenia aims to accomplish this vision by recruiting promising leaders, both in Armenia and from across the diaspora, to teach for a 2-year commitment in schools where their knowledge and skills are needed. In the long-run, our organization is cultivating a network of changemakers, inclusive of our students, their communities, our Alumni, government officials, community partners, supporters, and affiliates from across Teach For All.
The Team:
Seroond is a multi-stakeholder initiative — bringing together MoESCS, the regional government, and the global nonprofit Kizazi — to catalyze transformational change across the Armenian public school system. Through Seroond, Teach For Armenia envisions schools that cultivate self-actualized leaders who think globally and work locally to build a better future for themselves and their communities.
The Seroond LDM will report to the Head of Seroond, and will work alongside the other LDMs working in other schools of the project. The Seroond LDM partners with the school principal in order to implement the “Seroond” model, including in-service teacher training and various educational activities for students. Additionally, the Seroond LDMs support initiatives in order to create leadership opportunities for important stakeholders, such as Teach For Armenia students and their Alumni-Ambassador community.
Meanwhile, Kizazi (Teach For Armenia international partner) will facilitate a support program for the team in developing the assessment scheme and whole child development approachesbased on regional and global best practices in running government partnership innovation schools. Going forward, the team will continue to be a part of the Kizazi's global network - accessing further ongoing support.
In the future, Teach For Armenia hopes that Seroond model will be expanded all of the regions across the country. This is an excellent opportunity for an educational leader interested in participating in an exciting project that is likely to scale.
