The webinar on Teacher Leadership in Kazakhstan coincides with the publication of a new book by The Teacher Leadership in Kazakhstan (TLK) initiative. ISSA Member Community Educational Foundation "School for All" took part in this webinar held by UNESCO in Almaty in May 2023. The overall aim of the event was to introduce the concept of TLK, share the experience gained throughout the project, and build a network of teachers in Central Asia who are interested in non-positional teacher leadership.

Family Resource Centres were established in Kyzyforda, Zhambul and Semey in Kazakhstan to assist families whose children were not attending preschool (typically poor families). The centers welcomed children and families to prepare them for primary school. The parents received information on child development ad how to promote it at home. The families also learned how to communicate with the schools and became advocates of democratic approaches.

The Growing Together project consisted of three parts: improving preschool education practices by using the ISSA Principles of Quality Pedagogy and parent and community involvement; building community and  partnerships at the primary school level, and parental education. The project's results were disseminated through Ministry of Education and other agencies.
