The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi is offering a grant up to $400,000 for a two-year project. This grant is for improving classroom instruction among primary school teachers in Georgia, with a particular focus on schools where Georgian is not the primary language of instruction. Key objectives include observing teachers who completed the USAID Basic Education Program, providing personalized constructive feedback, and mentoring them as they implement new pedagogical methods. A crucial aim is to ensure at least 50% of observed and mentored teachers are from minority schools. Expected outcomes include participant teachers better applying training pedagogy and their students demonstrating higher achievement in subject areas, particularly literacy or other language skills.
