STRENGTHENING THE CASCADE APPROACH IN TAJIKISTAN
The Cascade approach is used repeatedly in developing countries, often with little success. However, Relief International - Schools Online is (RI-SOL) School Connectivity Project in Tajikistan successfully used the Cascade approach to reach teachers in over 20 secondary schools spread throughout the mountainous country. First, in-country teacher trainers were identify and received instruction in using technology for teaching through student-centered techniques. They were assigned to one or two school-based Internet Learning Centers near their homes to provide on-site teacher support throughout the multi-year program. Following the initial one-week intensive workshop, RI-SOL staff traveled monthly to the schools to meet with trainees and communicated daily via online chat to help them develop a TPD plan and practice communication, technology, and lesson planning skills. Trainers were given autonomy to develop training programs and educational projects that provided individualized solutions relevant to their schools and teachers, while also participating in monthly online collaborative projects between schools within Tajikistan and internationally. At the end of the first academic year, the teacher trainers conducted the subsequent training workshop for a new cadre of trainers as the program expanded to more schools. Teacher trainers were paid by RI-SOL according to outcomes. To receive pay, trainers had to document their work with teachers as well as provide project results showing teacher and student achievement. These supports (ongoing TPD, monthly face-to-face meetings, constant technology-based communication, and outcome-based pay) helped in-country trainers successfully integrate new technology into classrooms and curricula across the country
