Project Zawadi is working with Tanzanian teachers and international education experts to develop a series of video training modules, delivered in Swahili, that demonstrate active teaching and learning strategies and create opportunities for discussion and reflection for teachers.  Model Schools empowers local community members to co-create a vision for a high-quality educational institution for their students through an intensive community and school planning initiative. Model Schools utilizes local knowledge and resources to address critical educational needs for infrastructure, teaching materials, staff professional development, student and family support, and academic and career counseling needs.
