In December 2023, Digital Promise and our team piloted a PBL course, a product we developed together. This pilot project profoundly impacted the twenty educators from Dalaba who participated in the training. Here are a few quotations from participants expressing their learning from the training:

• “I really enjoyed this course because it gave me an insight into the value of technology in learning for learners.”
• “The content of the course has enabled me to be more ambitious in my teaching profession through technology.”
• “I've really enjoyed learning how to use technology in my learning activities with students.”
• “This training allowed me to know how pedagogical technology can improve my capacity to teach in order to increase students’ levels. With the knowledge I gained, I plan to rearrange my classroom into learning zones and choose the appropriate digital tools for my content area.”

In FY2024-25, we plan to continue supporting each of these teachers, monitoring their progress, and helping them assemble their PBL toolboxes. After completing the pilot project, we will use the resources and lessons learned to extend the PBL training and resources to 40 more teachers in Dalaba and its surrounding cities. By the end of the fiscal year, we will have enabled 60 teachers to run PBL classes effectively.  

• Goal: Equip sixty teachers with practical knowledge of PBL and the resources to run PBL courses successfully.
• Activity 1: We are supporting the 20 teachers who participated in the PBL in assembling their PBL toolboxes.
• Activity 2: We will use resources and lessons from the pilot project to extend the PBL training to 40 more teachers in Dalaba and its surrounding cities.
