At the start of Term 2, 2025, Teach For Uganda conducted a transformative capacity-building training for headteachers and Primary Three (P.3) teachers across 49 partner schools in Kayunga, Hoima, Kibaale, and Buliisa. This initiative aimed to strengthen educational leadership and classroom practices to improve learning outcomes for lower primary learners (P.1–P.3).
Leadership for Learning
Headteachers participated in a one-day workshop focused on fostering supportive school environments for fellows and aligning school efforts with Teach For Uganda’s mission. They explored collaborative strategies and practical tools to drive academic excellence and create a culture of shared accountability.
Transforming Instructional Practices
Over a three-day intensive training, P.3 teachers engaged with interactive, play-based, and differentiated instruction approaches rooted in Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) methodology. Hands-on activities allowed participants to apply these strategies in real classroom scenarios, empowering them to create more inclusive, learner-centered spaces.
Commitment to Change
Participants shared powerful reflections and renewed their commitment to driving change in their classrooms. Many expressed enthusiasm for the techniques introduced, pledging to adopt them in ways that uplift student engagement and achievement.
Sustainable Professional Growth
Looking ahead, Teach For Uganda will facilitate pre-term trainings for P.3 teachers before each school term, ensuring sustained professional development and deeper impact across all partner schools. . This training marks a significant step toward empowering educators to unlock the full potential of their students, setting the stage for improved learning achievements across the region.
