The Uganda program starts with training and orientation, which prepares you to support teachers through a 3-week institute. Each week combines workshops and coaching and focuses on a new area of teaching.
After arrival at Entebbe Airport, your team will transfer to our lodge in Bwindi, overlooking the Impenetrable Forest in southwestern Uganda.
You’ll visit schools and meet the teachers you’ll be working with, and then your team leaders will give you training and tools you’ll need for your role.
In the three weeks that follow, you’ll run workshops covering 27 powerful teaching techniques. After each workshop, you’ll use coaching to help teachers put techniques into practice in their classrooms.
The institute begins with an inspiring opening ceremony, which sets the stage for the weeks to come.
You’ll then co-facilitate a theory session on the science of learning and facilitate engaging sessions on classroom routines, effective explanations and student talk.
Through the week, you’ll work with teachers in their schools, using coaching to help them to embed techniques from the workshop in their classroom.
After a fulfilling first week in schools, you’ll bond as a team on safari in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
Building on learnings from your first week, you’ll run a second workshop. You’ll co-lead an interactive session on lesson design, and practice sessions on techniques for modeling, questioning and creating a positive classroom climate.
During the week, you’ll be back in classrooms using coaching cycles to help teachers put techniques into practice.
After another productive week in schools, the team will head off for a relaxing weekend at the beautiful Lake Bunyonyi.
In the final workshop day, you’ll run sessions on creating a motivating classroom climate, scaffolding learning and assessment-informed teaching.
You’ll support the teachers you’ve been working with as they transition to using peer coaching to support each other on an ongoing basis.
A closing ceremony on the final day of the institute will be a chance to reflect on what you’ve accomplished together.
Before you fly out from Entebbe, you’ll get the chance to celebrate as team by rafting on the Nile.
We will provide you with a suite of tools to help you run great workshop sessions and to guide you and the teachers you support through successful peer coaching cycles. Some of the tools include:
