These Core Values are a vital component of the Organization's culture to ensure long-term and sustainable success, and therefore we view them as an important component for the selection of new team members and Teacher-Leaders. Teach For Armenia's collaborative working environment ensures abundant opportunities to expand own network and learning opportunities with other team members, Teacher-Leaders, corporate partners, the Ministry of Education, other education stakeholders, as well as other like-minded individuals from the Teach For All network partners in over 40 countries.
