In order to achieve Our 2050 Promise, Teach For Armenia has created a long-term strategy, called our Aragast.
The Aragast outlines three areas of impact:
1) Enlist a critical mass of change-makers to achieve a tipping point;
2) Enable bright spots across the nation;
3) Achieve structural change.
WHAT DO THESE AREAS OF IMPACT MEAN?
FIRST,
we aim to recruit passionate and dedicated individuals to serve as Teacher-Leaders (i.e. participants of our two-year Teacher Leadership Program), placing them to teach and lead in communities across Armenia that need them the most.
SECOND,
individuals who were trained through our program then work in partnership with their students to create hundreds and thousands of “bright spots” that serve as proof points for the entire system.
THIRD,
in the long-run, our former teachers and students serve as “Ambassadors” for our mission, working in tandem with our communities and the government to implement the structural changes necessary to unlock the nation’s fullest potential.
This is the “movement for educational justice” that we often reference as an organization.
