To improve trainer skills and enhance the quality of pedagogical supervision, the Ministry of National Education, with support from the World Bank through the PROMESSE project, is introducing the TEACH Primary tool https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-41758-haiti-teach-primary-a-new-tool-for-observing-the-work-of-teachers-in-classrooms.html . This is a structured observation protocol developed by the World Bank to assess and improve classroom teaching practices.

As part of this initiative, the Ministry of National Education, through the Directorate of Training and Development, organized a training session in Cap-Haitien on the TEACH Primary tool. This training was aimed at 36 technicians from the Educational Support Service and 22 certified Educational Advisors.

The objective of this training is to train a group of community trainers competent in the use of the TEACH Primary protocol. These trainers will then be responsible for providing training to inspectors, school principals, and other educational managers in their respective departments. This initiative is part of the Ten-Year Education and Training Plan 2020-2030 (PDEF).

To achieve this objective, education authorities rely on the Educational Support Services, which play a crucial role as community trainers at the departmental level. Following this initial training, a one-week workshop is planned for June 9-13, 2025. This workshop will bring together 100 additional Educational Advisors from the 10 Departmental Directorates of Education. The objective of this workshop is to provide training on the single textbook, in order to have a sufficient number of trainers to provide teacher training before the start of the school year in September 2025.
