Frances Vavrus (professor), and Kristeen Chachage (Ph.D. student) from the Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development (OLPD), and Matthew Thomas (2013 OLPD alum and assistant professor at the University of Sydney),  spent several weeks in Tanzania in July facilitating two professional development workshops for faculty on the integration of learner-centered teaching methods in science, math, and language classes. This is part of Vavrus and Thomas’ ongoing work with Mwenge Catholic University  to conduct Teaching in Action, an award-winning teacher education program that is now being incorporated into the national in-service curriculum for secondary school teachers. In addition, Vavrus gave a talk about her research on teacher education in Tanzania at Twaweza, an organization that conducts the largest citizen-led assessments of children’s learning in Africa.
