Here’s your **one-page policy pitch** for the lean, scalable teacher improvement model:
---
# 🇧🇷 **Policy Brief – "1 Teacher, 2 Eyes" Model**
### A Low-Cost, High-Impact Strategy to Improve Teaching Quality in Brazil
---
## 🎯 GOAL
Improve classroom instruction **rapidly and sustainably** by equipping teachers with tools for self-reflection, peer feedback, and expert coaching—**without adding staff or straining budgets**.
---
## 🧠 THE MODEL
### 👩🏫 **1. One Teacher per Classroom**
No need to hire additional assistants. We work with current staffing, focusing on maximizing each teacher’s effectiveness.
---
### 📹 **2. Monthly Self-Reflection via Video**
* Teachers record one class per month using a **smartphone tripod**.
* They complete a **structured reflection form** with simple prompts (e.g., “Did I engage all students?”).
---
### 🔁 **3. Peer Video Exchange & Feedback**
* Teachers **swap videos** within their grade/subject group.
* Peer-to-peer feedback builds **collaboration, trust, and skill-sharing**.
---
### 🧑🏫 **4. 1 Coach per 10–15 Schools**
* Coaches support remotely or in rotation, reviewing teacher videos and **giving focused monthly feedback**.
* Emphasis on **one improvement at a time** (e.g., classroom transitions, questioning).
---
### 📱 **5. WhatsApp Teacher Groups**
* Teachers share tips, ask questions, and post progress updates.
* Encourages **daily micro-learning and motivation**.
---
## 💸 BUDGET SNAPSHOT (Per 100 Schools)
| Item | Annual Cost Estimate |
| --------------------------------- | -------------------- |
| Phone tripods | R\$10,000 |
| Coach stipends (2) | R\$60,000 |
| WhatsApp data assistance | R\$5,000 |
| Printed guides & reflection forms | R\$2,000 |
| **Total per year** | **\~R\$77,000** |
➡️ **Cost per school per year: R\$770**
---
## 🚀 IMPACT
* 📈 Boosts teacher effectiveness in 3–6 months
* 🧩 No staff expansion or facility upgrades
* 🔁 Builds a culture of continuous improvement
* 💬 Increases teacher motivation and retention
---
## 🧱 EXPANDABLE FEATURES (Phase 2)
* Micro-certifications for top teachers
* AI-assisted video analysis tools
* Mini-grants for teacher innovation
---
## 📌 READY TO PILOT
Ideal for **municipal secretariats** or **state education departments** seeking **fast, visible gains** in public school performance.
> Let Brazil’s teachers become their own best coaches—with two eyes, a phone, and a purpose.
