Summerbridge teachers participate in an initial orientation and extensive training week as well as on-going training sessions. They will be trained by professional teachers in curriculum implementation, lesson planning, behavior management as well as assessment of learning. As many of them will not be of the same backgrounds as the students, members will be trained in appreciating diversity and celebrating differences. They are also trained in leadership skills as well as their rights and civic responsibilities as members of a democratic society.

Home schooling or community-based schooling is an innovative way to assist conflict-affected communities to provide education to children in a manner that inspires confidence, as well as a sense of safety for families. This program aims to reach out to those communities in areas that are unsafe or areas where children cannot access the local school due to overcrowding, distance, and safety concerns. The objective is to provide community-based, temporary programming until children have safe and permanent access to the national public schools. This program can provide basic education at the primary level to boys and girls, as well as older members of the community who never completed primary education.

The IRC will target schools in Dohuk, Suleimaniyah/Diyala, and Najaf that are currently being used to educate internally displaced and host community children, providing a safe area for children to learn. Many schools are dilapidated, old government buildings (army barracks) in collective areas (such as Fardi Camp in the north), rather than schools, and are often overcrowded. Each school will be assessed individually for needs with teachers, parents, students, and Ministry of Education. School infrastructure projects include water and sanitation, classroom extension, and rebuilding of classrooms and schools. An estimated 1,000 school-age and community teachers and educators could benefit from this program. |
