On October 7, Community of Practice (CoP) Cascade sessions were launched in all regions of Uzbekistan. More than 550 Regional Peer Mentors (RPMs) will conduct CoP sessions with more than 7000 Mentees through mid-December.

Prior to starting the CoP sessions, RPMs successfully finished 60 hours of a professional development cascading course based on TESOL International Association's The 6 Principles for Exemplary Teaching of English Learners and George Mason University's Teaching English Through English materials. RPMs also successfully took part in Training of Mentors (ToM) workshops conducted this August and September throughout Uzbekistan to prepare for the RPM- Mentee Cascading sessions. Stay tuned for some great pictures and videos from Friday CoP sessions!
