TEACHER TRAINING. The closure of many formal schools due to the conflict, on top of the fighting itself, led to a massive brain drain of qualified teachers in Northeast Syria as people fled the area. This resulted in a nascent formal education system and the need for informal/non-formal education opportunities for children who lost out on education during the years when the formal system was closed and were too old to join the re- organized formal education system. In an effort to support the system, Injaz 2 provided educators of both formal schools and those working in informal/non-formal settings with different forms of training. The project also provided a training of trainers (ToT) to formal schoolteachers, with the expectation that the ToT graduates would cascade the knowledge out to other teachers in the formal education system. Injaz 2 ran two tracks of educator training: CBO educators, which included teachers, child protection officers (CPOs), PSS and social reintegration facilitators, and other relevant CBO staff; and formal education teachers. For CBO educators all training – on remedial literacy, remedial numeracy, SLP, PSS, and child safeguarding – was mandatory. In addition, every new employee that joined a CBO had to attend the child safeguarding training, and all teachers, CPOs, and facilitators attended PSS training. For the training of formal education teachers, Injaz 2 coordinated with the education committees in each governorate to nominate teachers who would be trained by master trainers. These master trainers were trained in SLP Arabic and math, SLP teaching strategies, remedial education, and the Injaz 2 PSS program. The master trainers then provided training on the same subjects to the formal education teachers nominated by the ECs. The training of formal education teachers ran from 2018 and through August 2021 before the start of the last academic year supported by Xxxxx 2, which concluded in November 2021. The ECs could only make teachers available during the winter and summer breaks in the academic calendar (generally in February and August each year). In addition to the more formalized training, the project’s training team provided direct mentoring and support to the CBO teachers to form teacher learning circles and WhatsApp groups, where project staff could communicate with all of the teachers at once. These circles and groups enabled teachers to share problems – such as how to keep children engaged – and source collective advice on how to addres...
