Instill Education Aims To Provide Teachers With Quality Teaching Knowledge
Instill Education Aims To Provide Teachers With Quality Teaching Knowledge. Instill Education is a start-up education organisation with a vision to transform teaching and school leadership across the African continent. It is currently based in Johannesburg, where it is running pilot programmes of its innovative curriculum and building partnerships with several leading school networks. It is inspired by cutting-edge teacher training institutions (such as Relay GSE and Sposato GSE) to build the most innovative, impactful and scalable teacher training institution in Africa.
The start-up is rebuilding the foundation of teacher education in Africa. Through a practically immersive graduate learning programme, it aims to meet the pressing and growing need for high quality teaching capacity in Africa. It is its mission to Instill in its teachers the skills that are so desperately needed to lead Africa into global competitiveness in the twenty-first century.
Instill Education believes that transformative teaching will have unparalleled influence on student outcomes, that a consistent pipeline of qualified, effective teachers will enable African Education to exceed the charge set by the Sustainable Development Goals, and that although large scale education reform must start with education accessibility, it can neither survive nor flourish without in-classroom teaching excellence.
It offers a practical-intense programme where trainees spend over 50% of their time in the classroom teaching and building proficiency through deliberate practice. It also prepares trainees to transition seamlessly into the school classroom; the learning journey and year-one teaching experience are integrated through simulation, classroom practice, and classroom training.
The company has tailored its programme to the needs of its partner schools. By driving the competencies they value, it creates a strong pipeline of teacher talent. The company employs evidence-based pedagogies that focus on the core skills of teaching. Its methodology ensures that the science that underpins great teaching drives learning activities, evaluation, and evidence.
Instill Education works with leading training institutions and global education experts to ensure its methodology remains at the cutting edge of teacher education. This is complemented by master facilitators with extensive experience in African classrooms. It aims to maintain a strong focus on data which drives candidate selection, student performance, and teaching practice, and allows us to continuously adjust and improve in real time.
