TEACHER LEADERSHIP ACADEMY IN ARTSAKH
Organizing our annual Teacher Leadership Academy ( TLA ) in the Artsakh region presented a unique set of challenges in 2023 . Due to the blockade , we could not bring five ninth-generation Teacher-Leaders from Artsakh to Armenia . As a result , we conducted a parallel academy in Stepanakert .
The TLA in Artsakh spanned six weeks . It began with three weeks of in-person training for our Teacher Leadership Program participants , followed by a twoweek in-person Student Leadership Camp , and concluded with a one-week in-person Regional Orientation .
Despite facing significant obstacles such as power outages , disrupted internet connectivity , and fuel shortages , our team , supported by current Teacher- Leaders and Alumni-Ambassadors , successfully delivered a high-quality program . The positive feedback from participants gathered through our post-TLA survey underscores our team ’ s resilience and adaptability .
Ultimately , the five Teacher-Leaders from Artsakh successfully completed the TLA and camp and were well-prepared to start the school year .
