Educational Leadership Development Program (ELDP) for School Administrators in Uzbekistan

ELDP aspires to advance pedagogical and educational leadership reforms among school administrators and education officials in Uzbekistan. The two-year program strives to improve administrators’ and education officials’ professional capacities, including educational leadership skills, by providing targeted professional development opportunities. To this end, the program will recruit and train 28 public school principals and vice-principals to learn the ELDP curriculum and train as future trainers, capable of delivering the ELDP curriculum to their peers and colleagues in the field. With advice and support from a technical expert, the 28 ELDP trainers will subsequently work in pairs to deliver the ELDP professional development course to an additional 280 public school principals and vice-principals from all 14 regions of Uzbekistan. Finally, a group of 14 participants will be selected from a total of 308 to participate in a two-week professional program in the U.S., where they will job-shadow their counterparts in their U.S. host schools. A closing conference will provide participants with the opportunity to share what they have learned, report on the impact of their action plans to the broader Ministry of Preschool and School Education (MoPSE) community, and advocate for the next phase of educational reforms in Uzbekistan.

The Educational Leadership Development Program (ELDP) is funded by the Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) of the U.S. Embassy in Uzbekistan.
