Teach First Denmark is a non-profit association founded in 2013 We work to give children in Denmark the opportunity to get an education, regardless of social background. We do this by engaging even more skilled teachers for the primary schools and students who need them the most. Our two-year program is a career in elementary school and in education. It is a community for people who want to contribute to strengthening the future opportunities for all children in Denmark. We work closely with primary schools, vocational colleges, municipalities and foundations. We are independent of political, economic and religious interests and are financed by foundation funds for non-profit purposes. A society where no children and young people are excluded from the communities Teach First Denmark works for a society where all children and young people have the opportunity to develop their full potential, for the benefit of themselves and the community. We mobilize civil society in the belief that positive change is created by engaging and uniting people who want to be something for someone and who want to contribute to the community. We are present where the need is greatest, and we always have the children's interests at the center of what we do. We emphasize building our activities around a broad collaboration, because we are never the whole solution, and because together we can see more nuances and create greater changes. More skilled teachers at primary schools with a large proportion of vulnerable pupils A program that attracts the brightest and most motivated university candidates with the talent to motivate and learn from them in primary school. A thorough selection of candidates who have the potential to become skilled teachers and who, in the long term, can also create solutions in a career outside primary school. More professionally skilled and well-connected teachers, not least in vulnerable residential areas. A strong community and network of graduates who support and inspire each other. A steep learning curve through a close link between theory and practice and feedback from a teaching mentor.
Despite our prosperity, Australia's education system is one of the most inequitable in the developed world. The postcode you're born in can radically impact your future, determining the type of education you get to access. And without a quality education, our young people get left behind - set up for lives of disadvantage instead of lives of opportunity. It's not their choice; and it isn't their fault. Right now, the education sector across Australia is facing immense and urgent challenges. Young people are grappling with a system that struggles to support them to achieve their potential. Overburdened teachers are leaving the profession in droves, and there's fewer new graduates taking their place. Schools are under-resourced with the specialists they need to deliver a quality education for their students. The gap in outcomes between the most-advantaged and least-advantaged communities is already deep - and still growing. Our most marginalised and vulnerable students are being left behind. But together, we can do something about it. Established in 2009, Teach For Australia's vision is an Australia where education gives all children, regardless of background, greater choice for their future: and the ability to pursue the life opportunities they deserve. Research tells us quality teaching and leadership are major factors in making this happen. Improving teacher quality offers the greatest policy strategy to positively impact the educational outcomes of students. And school leadership is second only to teaching among all school-related factors that contribute to student learning. Raising students' achievement and driving equity into the education system depends on the effectiveness of teachers. So we're growing a community of leaders committed to equity for children by recruiting and developing exceptional people to teach and lead across the country. - We rigorously recruit high-calibre people from all walks of life to join our flagship Leadership Development Program; a unique two-year placement opportunity that sees successful candidates (known as 'Associates') work hands-on in secondary schools while studying their Masters in Education - We train and support them to become exceptional teachers who can give students the knowledge, skills and confidence to realise their potential. Associates work in the schools that need them the most: we partner exclusively with schools serving low socioeconomic communities. More than half of our partner schools are in regional, rural or remote communities. As subject specialists, Associates fill real vacancies in hard-to-staff positions; particularly in the critically in-demand science, technology, engineering and maths learning areas. We recognise quality teaching is only part of the picture - so we also invest in developing and supporting quality leadership as we seek to disrupt the status quo. - We energise and challenge our people to become agents of change against educational inequity; empowered to drive long-term transformational reform and innovation in education. We've established a pipeline of future leaders, with half of our teaching Alumni taking on formal school leadership roles. They're creating change not just as year-level coordinators, curriculum designers, subject leads and instructional coaches, but through school executive and principal-class positions. - Through our Teach To Lead and Future Leaders Program initiatives, we've helped more than 200 emerging school leaders build on their experience and insight as educators and grow into invaluable leaders who can raise school and student outcomes. In our first fourteen years we've supported hundreds of schools and thousands of vulnerable students - but we know there's so much more to do. We're determined to reach and teach 2 million Australian students by 2030. Our goals are ambitious but clear. By 2030, with the help of our partners and supporters, we aim to: - Reach and teach up to 2 million Australian students - Place and support 4,000 new teachers - Develop innovative solutions for the system - Grow the business behind our programs

Ensena por Bolivia's vision is that all Bolivians, regardless of their origin, can imagine and creatively build a society where they can develop themselves. The organization works with partner schools and communities to provide training and support to teachers and to implement innovative teaching and learning strategies that promote student engagement and success. Ensena por Bolivia's approach is based on the idea that leadership and educational equity are closely connected and that by developing strong, committed leaders in the educational system, it is possible to create lasting change and improve the lives of children and communities in Bolivia. The organization's work is aligned with Bolivia's national education goals, and our mission, vision and approach are based on the reality we observe every day in the communities and classrooms where we work. The short- and long-term impact we seek is focused on: 1. Improving access to quality education. We prioritize working in marginalized communities and with schools that lack resources or face other challenges that limit access to quality education. To achieve this, Ensena por Bolivia recruits and trains participants who are committed to promoting educational equity and social justice and who have the skills and knowledge to implement innovative teaching and learning strategies that promote student engagement and success. 2. Addressing the quality of education. Ensena por Bolivia focuses on improving the quality of education in Bolivia by promoting innovative teaching and learning strategies, encouraging the use of technology in the classroom, and providing professional development and ongoing support to teachers. The organization works with partner schools and communities to identify improvement opportunities and develop strategies to address them. Ensena por Bolivia would eventually advocate for policies and practices promoting quality education and supporting teachers and students. 3. Addressing the education gap between urban and rural areas. Ensena por Bolivia is working to address the education gap between urban and rural areas by establishing partnerships with schools and communities in remote or marginalized regions. ExB recruits and trains teachers willing to work in these areas and deeply understand their communities cultural and social context. We also work with local authorities and stakeholders to identify and address barriers to education in rural areas, such as limited resources, inadequate infrastructure, and cultural biases. 4. Support the movement led by communities and Alumni. We believe that one of the most effective ways to generate social change is through the participation of social actors within the same communities that face inequality in different levels and areas. The objective is to build synergies with the entire educational community: Parents' school boards, educational councils, district education offices, student organizations and indigenous authorities. The aim is to contribute to the common goal of pursuing better education. Each actor in this ecosystem plays a crucial part in developing a more equitable vision of education that allows children and youth in our country to fulfill their potential. This is the base of our approach.
