What We Do
In order to achieve its mission and strategic objectives, Teach For Lebanon works on implementing five major phases/principles:
- Recruitment of top graduates coming from different academic backgrounds;
- Training of the selected graduates to become full-time teachers (Fellows) through a six-week intensive Summer Institute, focusing on teaching methods and building skills;
- Placement of the Fellows to teach for two consecutive academic years in selected underprivileged schools in remote locations across Lebanon while providing them with the necessary ongoing support;
- Acceleration of the leadership of Teach For Lebanon alumni by following up closely with them and empowering them to keep their focus on educational inequity within their capacities;
- Measuring impact on student achievement and the Fellows’ development of leadership skills in order to ensure continuous and equal educational opportunity for all.
Although the timeline of the phases mentioned above may be perceived as restricted to a two-year program, Teach For Lebanon’s plan stretches to a longer period of time, whereby its growth includes recruiting more participants each year, thus placing more Fellows at the current partner schools, as well as partnering with additional schools across Lebanon.
