Project Description
English Language Teacher and Trainers are needed to improve the professional skills of teachers through co-teaching and workshops in modern teaching methodology. With the help of Peace Corps Response Volunteers (PCRVs), ERCs hope to provide additional opportunities for teachers to improve their language skills, teaching methodology, and increase access to professional development opportunities. ERC staff also needs to improve their skills in project design, writing, and management, and offer workshops in proposal writing to school principals and interested teachers. PCRV assistance will also be important in organizing and planning trainings and extracurricular activities for students and local youth with a focus on conversational English, leadership, Volunteerism, employability, and other skills.
Please note that departure dates and other details of this project could change because of the uncertainties as Peace Corps and local partners resume volunteer operations. Candidates selected for this position will be arriving in Georgia together as a group, so while the departure dates for the whole group could change, dates cannot be changed for individual candidates.
