At Bridge, we train, develop and support both government and community teachers so as they are equipped with everything they need to maximise a child’s learning. Our team analyses pedagogical research, utilises leadership and development experts, and works closely with government bodies to develop the most effective teacher training and support techniques. Our training focuses on creating a truly pupil-centred classroom. Every teacher supported by Bridge is equipped with a device (‘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 them from the demands of lesson planning and allows them to focus on what they love the most—teaching! Further, we create positive learning environments by eliminating corporal punishment from the classroom, strengthening teacher-pupil relationships. Bridge trained and Bridge-supported 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. We’ve demonstrated that with the right support average teachers can become great teachers, and great teachers can change lives.
