Teaching Together: A Journey in Reflection
Born out of a deep belief in professional educators, this project is designed to EMPOWER and VALIDATE the work and efforts done by teachers in Africa.
Pairing a Canadian teacher with two Ugandan Educational Leaders, they will then teach together in Ugandan schools during the day for two weeks. During that time they will be reflecting on their experiences as professionals in facilitated conversation. In an atmosphere of encouragement and mutual respect they will have a chance to discuss the practice and conceptions of teaching and learning in Uganda and help everyone develop professionally: improving practice and boosting student achievement.
Through this experience the goal is that Canadian and Ugandan teachers will grow in the belief that they can bring about change in their students, community, and world.
I agree with you, Ugandan children have what it takes to impact positive change in the country, and the world, and teachers are a major contributor in helping the children achieve that.
