550 teachers in Colombia are learning together

In the first months of 2024 we have seen our pilot group of more than 550 teachers work diligently and enjoy the process of learning together. The program “Cre-Siendo Juntos” which means growing and being together, is seeing teachers in a variety of different schools grow in their learning and professionalization. We are seeing a lot of pictures and videos being posted in our online Facebook community where one teacher shared: “Its an experience where I have learned that I need to be consistent in my professional development and growth!”

34 schools included
We have about 34 schools that are part of the program which are from both rural and urban regions as well as indigenous communities. They are mostly private schools which range from low socio-economic centers to more economically stable schools which allows us to compare how the program functions in a range of schools, in addition to the public schools which are also in the program.

Adding more teachers
We are currently in the process of looking at adding another 500-1000 teachers in the coming weeks which are from the public sector as we start discussions with the secretary of education in the coastal region of Colombia which will allow the program to make a large jump into the public sector. We hope to keep you posted on these developments!
