Technical Assistance and Coaching

World Education is dedicated to improving the lives of the poor through education, and economic and social development programs.

World Education provides customized technical assistance and coaching to build the capacity of adult education systems, programs, institutions, and practitioners. We consult with our clients to develop products and processes that will make them more effective. As part of our technical assistance, we may also conduct evaluations and needs assessments.

Our coaching services encourage and support clients to develop their own education solutions. World Education helps clients stay the course as they implement the activities and services that will help accomplish their specific goals.

Examples:

Assisting low-performing adult education programs to improve their internal processes and services in order to increase their adult learners' academic achievement.
Designing and conducting needs assessments and evaluations of programs and state systems.
Designing teacher mentoring models with training and support protocols.
Researching and writing papers on system impact and other topics.
