NEW INITIATIVE : MASTER ’ S PROGRAM
In response to the critical talent shortage within Armenia ’ s public education system , Teach For Armenia , in collaboration with Yerevan State University ( YSU ) Pedagogy and Education Development Center , launched a Master ’ s Program in Teacher Leadership in 2022 .
This program equips teachers with the skills and tools to drive systemic change and advocate for educational equity across Armenia and Artsakh . By offering a comprehensive curriculum combining theoretical knowledge and practical experience , the program empowers graduates to become influential community leaders , fostering positive change and promoting equitable education . Upon completing this part-time , one-and-ahalf-year degree program , students earn a teaching qualification and a specialization in Teacher Leadership — the first of its kind in Armenia .
As of September 2023 , 25 second-year Teacher-Leaders have progressed into their final year of the Master ’ s Program , while 20 first-year Teacher-Leaders have begun their journeys , furthering their professional development .
