TEACHER DEVELOPMENT IN UGANDA

Every Teacher Deserves Access to High Quality Professional Learning

The Teaching Practice works alongside schools and education organisations to strengthen teaching and learning through practical, affordable and evidence-informed professional development. We help educators turn ideas into classroom practice using approaches that respond to their context, priorities and available resources.

WHY THE TEACHING PRACTICE?

Teachers are ready to grow. Access is the missing piece.

Across Uganda, dedicated teachers work with real skill and commitment yet ongoing, practical professional learning is still hard to reach. We close that gap with development that respects teachers' expertise and fits the classrooms they actually teach in.

​

Our work is grounded in evidence and shaped for local realities: large classes, limited materials, multilingual learners and busy timetables.

FEATURED WORKSHOP

Building Better Classroom Questions

Strong questions do more than test memory. They reveal what students understand, uncover misconceptions and create opportunities for deeper thinking. This practical workshop helps teachers move from asking questions for participation to using questions intentionally for retrieval, diagnosis, inclusion, adaptation and deeper reasoning.

2-hour session · Available in-person or online

EARLY IMPACT

Growing Evidence of Change In Classrooms

The Teaching Practice began by delivering pilot professional-development sessions with schools in Uganda. These sessions provided opportunities to test materials, listen to teachers, study the challenges schools prioritise and refine a professional-learning model centred on active participation and immediate classroom application.
