- Producing, implementing and evaluating context-appropriate teaching materials.
- Running subject area workshops to plan curricula and discuss subject specific teaching methodology.
- Conducting pre-service trainings for new teachers.
- Providing ongoing teacher support services.
- Sourcing relevant teaching and learning materials; local and international magazine subscriptions, multimedia resources, internet resources, international textbooks, library stock.
- Maintaining an extensive resource library, available to all educators and organisations working with people from Burma.
