Train for Change empowers local Honduran teacher leaders through professional development to improve the quality of education for 1 million children in the most impoverished areas of the country.
OUR IMPACT
First Year in the Program
Our foundational year focuses on building upon teachers’ toolkit for change in such key areas such as early literacy, lesson planning, and engaging students in critical thinking. Through monthly group professional development and on-site school supports, schools are brought together in a community network allowing them to benefit from their communal talents.
