Today; We are thankful for being visited by the ALiVE regional Learning Hub team. This visit is part of ALiVE’s initiative to strengthen institutional learning practices among and beyond RELI member organizations working to improve learning outcomes in East Africa.
We are excited to have hosted Peterson Dakota from Global Center for the Development of the Whole Child at the University of Notre Dame.
Peterson had come to support our group model-building workshop aimed at conceptualising teacher agency for #Schools2030 project.

Teacher agency is key to unlocking transformative education. By fostering an environment where teachers feel empowered, classrooms will be transformed into spaces for innovation and critical thinking.
Dear Peterson, we hope you enjoyed the Pear of Africa!
