About the assignment

We’re looking for 2 Multi Grade Teacher Trainers who can live and volunteer for 12 months in the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

• This assignment seeks to build teachers practical skills and confidence in planning and delivering effective multi-grade instruction.

About the partner organisation

The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) Public School System serves students across 24 atolls and islands dispersed over nearly two million square kilometres of ocean. Many schools operate in multi-grade settings due to small enrolments and teacher shortages. 

Strengthening teacher capacity in multi-grade teaching is a core national priority under the RMI Education Sector Plan. Australian Volunteers will play an essential role in building practical, classroom-embedded skills for teachers through structured training and sustained in-school coaching, especially in remote and outer island contexts.
