You have made me love my work. I used to do it for a living but now I do it with passion. I don't just want to be a teacher, I want to be a great teacher with a great impact on my pupils
Nelly, Teacher Feedback
The course facilitator made the workshop very interactive, practical and motivating. I recommend it for all teachers and Trainers of teachers. A good effort was made to show how to apply this knowledge to Kiwsahili language and current curriculum programs.
