The Teacher Enhancement Program offers the following short courses:
Art of Leadership
The Art of Leadership (AOL) suited for primary and secondary schools’ management, head teachers and deputy head teachers. AOL covers a number of thematic areas which are; Systemic Leadership, Managing Resources, Teacher Management Philosophy, Culture Turnaround for school reputation and Leader self – care and Self Development.
The teachers are expected to use the skills imparted on them in the trainings to transform their schools into centers of excellence.
Teaching Competencies for the Basic Curriculum Framework.
Teaching competencies in a Basic Curriculum Framework include essential skills like content knowledge (subject proficiency), pedagogical knowledge (effective teaching methods), classroom management, assessment and evaluation skills, and differentiation (tailoring instruction to diverse learning needs). These competencies collectively enable educators to deliver effective instruction and support student development within the basic curriculum.
Project Progress and Success
The Strathmore Teacher Enhancement Programme (STEP) has successfully conducted teacher training sessions across East and West Africa, making a positive impact in countries such as Liberia, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Kenya. In Kenya specifically, STEP has organized impactful training sessions in various counties, including Nairobi, Kitui, Machakos, Meru, Makueni, Turkana, and Bungoma.
We are proud to share that these efforts have directly benefited a substantial number of educators, with over 8000 teachers having participated and gained valuable insights and skills through our training programs. We remain committed to fostering continuous professional development and contributing to the enhancement of the education sector in these regions.
