At the end of every year, we take time to reflect on our progress and dream of our future. Last week, we invited our partner schools to join us as we embarked on this process. We asked them one simple question… what does it mean to be a part of the Impact One Network?  

The first response… it means a lot! 

Then each person began to share story after story of how the Impact One Network has made a difference in their schools.

Our core priority is training teachers with new skills, but that doesn't mean we are always the trainers! In our network of 9 schools, our teachers and directors are gifted with a variety of skills. One of our roles at Impact One is to give them a platform to share those skills with each other. One of those platforms is the Teacher Group Meetings, which are organized by our School Directors to encourage and equip their own teachers. 

This year, our School Directors have chosen to use the Teacher Group Meetings as an opportunity to build skills in Creative and Technology Studies.

This year, we introduced an exciting new e-learning program in our schools.  Grade 1 to 3 teachers are now using interactive tablets to teach their math classes.  The students and teachers are absolutely loving it!  Lessons are fun and interactive.  Attendance and participation is sky rocketing.  And most importantly, students are gaining a better understanding of how to do math!  We asked one of our teachers, Wilfred, to tell us how the new e-learning program (iSchool) has made an impact.
