<!–

Description

–>

In today’s educational landscape, the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into teaching is becoming increasingly important. This is particularly true in subjects such as Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), where digital competencies play a crucial role in enhancing both instructional methods and learning outcomes. Uzbekistan faces significant challenges in improving teacher competencies, particularly in leveraging digital technologies for pedagogical innovation. As the education system evolves, it is crucial to equip teachers with the skills and tools necessary to thrive in a digital age.

The joint UNESCO-UNICEF programme, titled “Empowering Education in Uzbekistan: Leveraging ICT and Digital Learning for High-Quality and Inclusive Education Results,” aims to tackle these challenges by establishing Centers of Pedagogical Excellence. These centers will serve as hubs for teacher training and professional development, focused on digital competencies, pedagogical innovation, and inclusivity. There are currently 14 Teacher Training Centers (TTCs) across Uzbekistan, one in each region, serving as key institutions for the continuous professional development of teachers.

The creation of these Centers of Pedagogical Excellence requires a solid conceptual model to guide their renovation, digital infrastructure, and pedagogical strategies. The model should draw inspiration from international best practices and innovative approaches to teacher education, ensuring that Uzbekistan’s teachers are prepared to navigate and thrive in a rapidly changing educational landscape. By integrating advanced ICT tools, the centers will provide a sustainable platform for continuous professional development, fostering an environment where teachers can collaborate, experiment, and innovate.

Required Qualifications:

• Advanced degree (Master’s or higher) in Education, Educational Development, Instructional Design, Digital Learning, STEM Education, or other related fields.
• Minimum of 7 years of professional working experience in educational development, instructional design, or teacher training, with a focus on digital learning, STEM education, or pedagogical innovation.
• Proven experience in developing and implementing educational models, frameworks, or strategies for teacher training and professional development, with an emphasis on integrating digital tools and pedagogical innovation.
• Strong report writing skills
• Fluency in English is required. Knowledge of Russian is an asset
