We are overjoyed to announce the results of the 22/23 school year Teacher Intensive work. Overall, our teachers’ skills improved by 29% as a result of Mali Rising’s training and support!
Teachers Can Teach Teachers Best!
This school year, we will host 18 Teacher Peer Meetings, where we bring together teachers to help each improve their skills. With so much work going into organizing these meetings, I always want to check in the teachers to make sure they are useful for their work. At a recent peer meeting, I had a great conversation with one teacher who was brand new to the idea of Peer Meetings – Abdoulaye Doumbia.
Up Close With Two Teachers From Banko
At a recent peer meeting we had the chance to talk with two teachers from one of our newer school – Christiana Norris Middle School in the village of Banko. Teachers are what make a school a life-changing place, so great teachers are key to our students’ futures. Get to know two of Banko’s teachers just a little bit through these mini-profiles from our chat.
More Than Impatient To Go Back To School!
Mariam, A Mali Rising Science Teacher
Mariam Dembelé is one of our brave female teachers in the middle school of Sue Chung Chiu Middle School in the village of Simidji. Thanks to our teacher sponsor donors, Mariam took part in our December 2019 teacher training. It was her first time at a training. Mariam is a science teacher and she enjoys her work so much! She has 4 years of teaching experience. At 23 years old, she is the mother of 2 children. Mariam loves her job because she loves children even though she thinks they are turbulent sometimes. Working as a teacher also allows her to support her family and come across with new people very often. Get to know Mariam more…

Making it Real: Concretization in the Classroom
In Mali classrooms, all too often lessons are taught by lecture and repetition and enforced through memorization. By contrast, active teaching and learning requires a set of methodologies that can make the learner more self-sufficient in their learning. One of these didactic techniques is the technique of concretization. What does the technique of concretization in teaching mean? Is it difficult to apply? What is it used for?
Another way to relax during Christmas holidays!
Thanks to our donors, since 2015 we have organized training for the teachers in all of our middle schools. In December 2018, the capital of Banimonotié, Bougouni, witnessed this theater, which was a chance for our teachers to refresh their knowledge and enthusiasm for teaching. Animated by a gift of perpetual quest for knowledge, 41 Mali Rising teachers left their families and leisure time to come and acquire the needed tools to improve the futures of their students.
