All about Dennis

Dennis in classroom

I’m a District Teaching Advisor, on the Building Learnings Foundation programme in Rwanda. I guide my team to enable them to support teachers, so they have the practical skills to ensure no child is left behind in education.

Rwanda

I work on the Building Learning Foundations project in Rwanda. With over 10 years of teaching learners and training teachers, I am able to support the stakeholders effectively and efficiently. I build their confidence and help them create a culture or habit that will make them attain their goals and targets through proper planning, making a follow up, reflecting on their work and build resilience in them.

The Building Learning Foundations programme draws to a close

It’s been a busy time here in Rwanda, while we begin to wrap up work on the Building Learnings Foundation programme. We’re focusing on making sure the learnings of the programme are sustained by working closely with teachers and headteachers to check their understanding and ensure no child is left behind in education.
