ICT Training for Teachers in Uganda
Empowering Educators for a Digital Future
Teacher Professional Development and Support
KAWA Uganda’s commitment to teacher professional development is a vital step in elevating the quality of education across the nation. Our programs equip teachers with the essential skills and knowledge to excel in the modern classroom. To ensure these programs have the greatest possible impact on student achievement, we focus on best practices in implementation, from selecting impactful activities to engaging all stakeholders and evaluating program effectiveness.
On-the-job training is a cornerstone of our approach, allowing teachers to immediately apply new strategies and technologies in their teaching. This hands-on experience fosters reflection and continuous improvement, leading to more dynamic and effective instruction.
