Stawisha Instructional Leadership Institute - Kenya

Abstract
---------------------------

Through Stawisha Program, Dignitas offers training and coaching to empower schools and educators (School Leaders & Emerging Teacher Leaders) in marginalized communities to transform students' opportunities with a focus on three levers of transformation; instructional leadership, classroom culture and learner engagement. The Program is designed to transform School Leaders' and Teacher Leaders' mindsets, tools and practices. School Leaders and Teacher Leaders teachers go through termly Leadership Academies, monthly Professional Development Workshops, Coaching, and Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) for a period of one year. Leadership Academies are intensive classroom-based training summits that introduce ideas and concepts that empower educators to be inspiring leaders and excellent teachers. The aim is to shift beliefs, attitudes and values so that educators see the potential in their schools and students. The Academies lay the foundation for educators to take charge of improving their schools and catalyzes school improvement efforts. Professional Development Workshops provide targeted development opportunities for both school leaders and teachers that build on the foundation created in the Academies with intense modelling and practice. Coaching provides personalized, in-class mentoring to the educators. It focuses on practical application of skills and concepts learned in training to ensure they are implemented in the classroom. Individualized coaching also ensures that each teacher receives support specific to his or her needs and abilities. Professional Learning Communities help educators to routinize sustainable reflective practice towards whole school improvement. Stawisha is currently being implemented in two locations; Dandora and Homabay. There are two cohorts learning concurrently in each location; the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 Cohorts. This is because Stawisha Program delivery was affected by schools' closures in 2020 as a result of Covid-19 pandemic. However, the Dandora and Homabay 2020-2021 Cohorts went through a covid-related initiative; Leaders of Learning, to promote wellbeing and learning during the pandemic. Same year (2020), the 2020-2021 Cohorts went through School Reopening & Recovery trainings to ensure schools were well prepared for reopening and learning recovery. In Dandora, there are 20 APBET schools and 98 School Leaders in the 2020-2021 Cohort and 21 APBET schools and 84 School Leaders in the 2021-2022 Cohort. In Homabay, there are 20 public schools and 80 Schools Leaders in the 2020-2021 Cohort and 22 public schools and 88 School Leaders in the 2021-2022 Cohort.

摘要
---------------------------
通过Stawisha项目，Dignitas为边缘社区的学校和教育工作者（学校领导者与新兴教师领导者）提供培训和指导，旨在通过三个变革杠杆来转变学生的机遇：教学领导力、课堂文化与学习者参与。该项目旨在转变学校领导者和教师领导者的思维模式、工具与实践。学校领导者和教师领导者将参加为期一年的定期领导力学院、每月的专业发展研讨会、辅导和专业知识学习社区（PLC）。领导力学院是密集的基于课堂的培训峰会，旨在引入能够赋予教育工作者鼓舞人心的领导者和卓越教师理念与概念。其目的是转变信念、态度与价值观，使教育工作者能够认识到其学校与学生的潜力。学院为教育工作者掌握提升学校质量的主动权奠定了基础，并催化了学校改进的努力。专业发展研讨会为学校领导者和教师提供针对性的发展机会，在学院的基础上，通过强烈的示范与实践构建基础。辅导提供个性化的课堂辅导，专注于将培训中学到的技能与概念应用于实践，以确保其在课堂上的实施。个性化的辅导还确保每位教师都能获得针对其需求和能力的具体支持。专业知识学习社区帮助教育工作者将可持续的反思实践常规化，以促进学校的整体改进。Stawisha目前已在两个地点实施；Dandora和Homabay。每个地点都有两个学习小组同时进行；2020-2021和2021-2022学习小组。这是因为Stawisha项目的实施受到2020年学校因COVID-19大流行而关闭的影响。然而，Dandora和Homabay的2020-2021学习小组经历了与COVID相关的倡议；学习领导者，以促进大流行期间的福祉和学习。同年（2020年），2020-2021学习小组参加了学校复课与恢复培训，以确保学校为复课和学习恢复做好准备。在Dandora，2020-2021学习小组中有20所APBET学校和98位学校领导者，2021-2022学习小组中有21所APBET学校和84位学校领导者。在Homabay，2020-2021学习小组中有20所公立学校和80位学校领导者，2021-2022学习小组中有22所公立学校和88位学校领导者。注意：本模板中提供的数据仅适用于Dandora学习小组。
