TEACHER DEVELOPMENT
Stronger teaching. Better learning. Lasting local capacity.
We support teachers through practical classroom-based development and access to formal teacher training.
Teachers are at the heart of every successful school. In rural Northern Uganda, many teachers have limited access to professional development or recognised training. African Revival works alongside teachers and schools to build practical skills, confidence and qualifications that can improve learning for generations of pupils.
Well-supported teachers are better able to plan engaging lessons, respond to different learning needs, strengthen literacy and create inclusive classrooms where every child can participate.
Practical methods teachers can apply immediately in lessons.
Better teaching supports literacy, participation and progression.
Skills remain with teachers, school leaders and communities.
We combine practical support in schools with opportunities for teachers to gain formal training. The routes reinforce one another and respond to different needs.
We work directly with teachers in their classrooms through practical workshops, observation, mentoring and follow-up. Support can include child-centred teaching, lesson planning, phonics, literacy, assessment, inclusion and classroom management.
We also support teachers to undertake formal study at teacher training colleges, helping them work towards the qualifications and deeper professional knowledge they need for a long-term career in education.
Training matters when it changes what happens for pupils. We focus on approaches teachers can use in real classrooms, supported by follow-up rather than one-off workshops.
As our programme develops, we intend to connect teacher learning more closely with school leadership, literacy, safeguarding, attendance and wider whole-school improvement.
“Reading has become so easy for the children now. The methods we learned make teaching and learning more effective.”
Headteacher, Kitgum Matidi Primary School, Northern Uganda
We are developing a partnership with Uganda’s Ministry of Education and Sports so that we can work together to strengthen teacher development and ensure our support reflects Uganda’s current curriculum and education priorities.
1. Identify needs
Understand teachers’ experience, qualifications and classroom challenges.
2. Provide practical support
Training, coaching, mentoring and peer learning in schools.
3. Enable formal development
Support appropriate teachers to access college-based training.
4. Learn and improve
Review classroom practice, pupil learning and wider school progress.
We are strengthening how we monitor teacher development, including participation, qualifications, classroom practice and links to pupil learning. We will be open about what is established, what we are testing and what we learn as the programme grows.
Why rural schools face distinct challenges—and how long-term support can respond.
How teaching, leadership, infrastructure and community partnership connect.
Help a teacher in rural Uganda gain the skills, qualifications and continuing support they need to transform learning for generations of pupils.
Your regular donation will support African Revival’s wider teacher-development programme. Funding may contribute to teacher training and college study; support for participating teachers; classroom resources and school improvements; community engagement; and African Revival’s safeguarding, programme delivery, monitoring and wider charitable costs.
Sponsorship supports the programme rather than being transferred in full to one named teacher. If more or less is raised than needed for a particular teacher, school or activity—or circumstances change—we may use donations for similar teacher-development and rural-education work, or African Revival’s wider charitable purposes.
We welcome partners who can help expand high-quality teacher development, college access and evidence-led improvement in Northern Uganda.
