Teaching

At Bridge Uganda, we believe that strong teachers change lives. So, we’re empowering a new community of trained, prepared and supported teachers. Teachers need resources that will enable them to teach effectively and material that is designed to help children learn. Our team analyses pedagogical research, utilises leadership and Uganda development experts, and works closely with the Ministry of Education and Sports (MOE&S) to develop the most effective teacher training and support techniques. Our training focuses on creating a truly pupil-centred classroom.

We’ve demonstrated that with the right support average teachers can become great teachers, and great teachers can change lives.

• Every teacher we support is equipped with a tablet (‘teacher computer’) on which they can download teacher guides for over eight hours of engaging lessons a day—up to two weeks in advance. This frees our teachers from the demands of lesson planning and allows them to focus on what they love the most—teaching!
• We create positive learning environments by eliminating corporal punishment from the classroom, strengthening teacher-pupil relationships.

Our teachers benefit from ongoing training, improved resources, continual support, professional development, and much more. All of this gives them pride in their profession as they see their pupils learning more.
