Teacher support
Teachers hold recovery together. Someone should hold them.
Practical training and materials for Ukrainian teachers working with war-affected children — launching in 2026.
Why teacher support
Every plan for learning recovery runs through a teacher. Ukrainian teachers have taught through air-raid alerts, blackouts, displacement and grief — often while carrying the same losses as their students. Asking them to also run catch-up learning and support traumatized children, without new tools or support, is not a plan.
This program gives teachers practical, immediately usable methods — not theory — for the specific classroom reality of wartime and post-disruption Ukraine.
What the training covers
- Diagnosing learning gaps and running catch-up teaching alongside the regular curriculum
- Trauma-informed classroom practice for children affected by war
- Teaching through disruption: blackouts, alerts, hybrid and shelter formats
- Supporting integration of internally displaced students
- Teacher wellbeing and preventing burnout
How the pathway will work
Intensive workshops
Short, practical sessions built around real classroom scenarios, delivered with qualified Ukrainian trainers.
Classroom application
Teachers apply methods in their own classrooms, with structured self-observation tools.
Peer circles and mentorship
Follow-up months where teachers troubleshoot together, online and offline — because a single workshop changes nothing on its own.
Materials that stay
Every participant keeps a toolkit of lesson materials and diagnostic resources for continued use.
Milestones we'll report against
- Curriculum finalized with practicing teachers and published in outline
- First cohort recruited through partner schools
- Workshops delivered; attendance and feedback published
- End-of-term evaluation from participants, published including criticisms
Progress will appear on the Transparency page and in news.
