This project aims to improve the quality of education in selected Jordanian public schools and refugee host communities. It seeks to meet the professional development needs of public school teachers from grades 1-10 in subjects such as Math, Science, Arabic and English. The project supports the Ministry of Education in meeting its goals regarding in-service teachers’ professional development training.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved instructional practices among teachers and school leaders in Jordanian schools; and (2) improved environmental practices in Jordanian schools.

Results achieved as of February 2022 include: (1) trained 33,711 educators (22,760 women and 10,951 men) in the 42 Ministry of Education directorates throughout the 12 governorates of Jordan. The training covered ten key programs that contributed to improved instructional practices among teachers and school leaders and environmental practices in Jordanian schools.
