Agreement Value:

$17,499,228.00

Agreement Date:

Mar 13, 2024 - Mar 31, 2029

Description:

The project aims to provide in-service teacher training for newly appointed teachers and the School Networks Program (SNP) for experienced teachers with over 5 years of teaching training for school leaders. Over 5 years, 2,500 principals will be enrolled and trained in Queen Rania Teacher Academy (QRTA)'s Advanced Instructional Leadership Professional Diploma (AILPD). Jordan's Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MoPIC) and Ministry of Education (MoE) asked Canada to continue supporting QRTA's programs aligned with the MoE’s professional development plans. Project activities include: (1) supporting the Teacher Education Professional Development training program; (2) supporting the Advanced Instructional Leadership Professional Diploma training program; and (3) supporting Subject-Specific School Networks training program - an in-service subject-specific pedagogy teacher professional development program. Given that the MoE aims to take on responsibility for all teacher and leadership training, this will be the final phase of Canadian funding for QRTA.
