Home REL Pacific About REL Pacific Palau Partnership to Support Teacher Effectiveness
Partner Organization(s): Palau Ministry of Education, Palau Community College, Belau Modekngei High School, Emmaus Bethania High School, Maris Stella Elementary School, Mindszenty High School, Palau Mission Academy, and Seventh Day Adventist Elementary School.
REL Pacific is working with private school leaders in Palau to create systems to develop, coach, and retain effective teachers. Private schools serve a large portion of the overall Palauan student population, so through training and coaching, REL Pacific is supporting private school leaders to identify meaningful indicators of effective teaching, collect data to measure each indicator, and use the data for decision-making and continuous improvement. The project goal is to help the schools develop structures that support the development and retention of a qualified, effective educator workforce well-positioned to improve student learning outcomes.
