announcementMoving teacher professional development out of one-off offsite conferences and directly into living, breathing Rwandan classrooms.


In short
A one-off workshop rarely changes what happens in a classroom on Monday morning. Our coaches work inside schools, week after week, with the same teachers.
Visits every two weeks from a coach the teacher already knows.
Feedback within the same day, on one routine only.
Coaches who teach alongside the class when a teacher wants to see it done.
Monthly circles where teachers from nearby schools share what is working.
Most of our coaches are Rwandan teachers and sector inspectors, so the skills stay in the system.

Two teachers plan and teach together in a Rwandan classroom, learning from each other.
