About the ITEN Teacher Policy Center Welcome to the ITEN Teacher Policy Center, a multilingual, open-access, and collaborative knowledge bank designed for all stakeholders concerned with teacher policies and practices.

The Teacher Policy Center is a repository of successful policies, programs, and practices related to the teaching profession. The Center aims to facilitate knowledge sharing and cooperation among OAS member states by providing visibility and promotion to contributions here published. Governments, academia, and other interested parties are invited to contribute! (see instructions below)

The ITEN Teacher Policy Center is part of the Inter-American Teacher Education Network (ITEN), an initiative of the Department of Human Development, Education and Employment of the Organization of American States. ITEN is a network of individuals from different sectors throughout the Americas, who are involved or interested in the teaching profession. Learn more about us here.

The Teacher Policy Center is an initiative from the VII Ministerial Meeting in Suriname (2012), and it was made possible thanks to the generous contribution of the U.S. Permanent Mission to the OAS.
