The road to TEACH Rwanda’s passion for quality improvement in Rwandan schools began with one teacher and one school in Muhanga in 2012. We are still refining our accreditation system for schools who meet our standards. The system is designed to be a continuous improvement process.
TEACH Rwanda welcomes new partners who begin this process as Project Schools. It usually takes about 2 years of Exemplary School observations, engaging workshops, in-class mentoring, and meeting goals set with stakeholders including school owners, administrators, and teachers for a committed Project School to become a TR-accredited Exemplary School. Soon educators from around the world will be able to observe learning through play and projects in a variety of locations in Rwanda.
We are currently at various stages in this professional development process with these and other partner Project Schools.
