Recommendations

Disclaimer: Open/Closed recommendations are updated semiannually.

We recommend that the country director and the language and culture coordinator increase training for language and culture facilitators prior to pre-service training.

We recommend that the country director and the language and culture coordinator explore ways to improve ongoing language training opportunities for Volunteers.

We recommend that the country director implement the trainee assessment portfolio to provide formative assessments to trainees, determine which trainees will be allowed to swear in, and document the assessment process.

We recommend that the country director work with programming staff to develop a site identification strategy.

We recommend that the program manager more carefully define programming site selection criteria so that staff select schools and communities demonstrating sufficient demand for a Peace Corps Volunteer English teacher.
