Tenders are invited for Recruiting Trainers to Implement Specialized Electronic Professional Development Sessions to Develop Teachers of Community Learning Centers in the Gaza Strip. Service Location: Ramallah, Gaza Strip Introduction to the organization and the project Teach for Palestine is an independent Palestinian non-governmental organization established in February 2023. It works to enhance the quality and inclusiveness of school education in Palestinian communities by developing educational leaders, improving classroom practices, and designing innovative educational solutions that respond to the needs of children, particularly in marginalized and crisis-affected areas. The organization, with funding from the Cooperation Foundation, is implementing the project "Building the capacities of educational staff and developing learning guides and methodologies in Noor Orphan Care Program centers," which targets female teachers working in community learning centers in the Gaza Strip. Participants received intensive training in six main areas: remedial education, managing the learning environment in crises, active learning strategies, inclusive education, integrated education, and digital learning. To further this approach, the organization plans to conduct short, focused online professional development sessions that will address new topics or delve deeper into previously overlooked areas, responding to the needs and challenges arising from daily work in community learning centers. These sessions will not simply reiterate the content of the six previous modules, but rather build upon them and address specific professional gaps. Main objectives Enhancing the competencies of female teachers in specialized educational and professional subjects that are directly related to their needs in the field. Providing teachers with practical strategies and tools that can be applied in community learning centers and within the available resources. Supporting the ability of female teachers to respond to emerging educational, behavioral, psychological and social challenges. To promote reflective practice, exchange of experiences, and continuous professional learning among female teachers. Developing educational practices that contribute to providing a safe, supportive and inclusive learning environment for children.
