JOIN OUR MOVEMENT

TEACH FOR ARMENIA’S TWO-YEAR TEACHER LEADERSHIP PROGRAM IS A UNIQUE AND UNPARALLELED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY

Our movement for educational justice is like the Kochari. Communities across Armenia have their own special dances, yet each kochari shares similar movements. Each kochari emphasizes the importance of building community by moving together in unison. With hands linked, we move together to signify that we are united in our cultural heritage. Similarly, Teach For Armenia’s Kochari is a collection of unifying concepts that help to synchronize our collective movement. In short, our efforts across the country reflect the uniqueness of each community while revolving around a shared vision. Read More →

OUR KOCHARI

Teach For Armenia is one of the flagship programs under the Armenia Education Initiative (AEI).

AEI is a bold, transformative platform reimagining public education in Armenia. It brings together all of Teach For Armenia’s main programs — such as the Teacher Leadership Program, Seroond Program, Public Policy Lab, Kaits Social Innovation Incubator, and the Master’s in Educational Leadership — under one strategic vision for systemic change.

With a decade-long impact reaching over 60,000 students and 20% of regional schools, AEI serves as a national ecosystem for educational innovation and leadership development. Its mission is clear: ensure every child, wherever they live, has access to high-quality, modern, and empowering education, shaping the next generation of thinkers, leaders, and change-makers for Armenia’s future.

While Teach For Armenia revolutionized teacher leadership, our mission has grown beyond a single program. AEI now serves as the unifying force of a powerful network of initiatives, driving systemic change across Armenia’s education landscape. Read more →
