Helping Educators Learn, Grow, and Stay Relevant
At the African Forum for Innovative Teachers (AFFiT), we believe that great teachers never stop learning. Teaching is changing rapidly — new technologies, new learners, and new challenges require educators to continually improve their skills.
Our Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programs help educators stay confident, creative, and effective in today’s classrooms and institutions. Through practical training and ongoing support, AFFiT equips educators with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in modern education environments across Africa.
Our Approach to CPD
AFFiT views professional development as a continuous journey, rather than a one-time workshop. Our programs are practical, hands-on, and focused on real classroom and institutional needs.
We design our CPD programs to help educators:
- Teach more effectively
- Use modern and practical teaching methods
- Integrate technology with confidence
- Grow as leaders and mentors
- Improve student learning outcomes
Every AFFiT CPD program is built to support educators at different stages of their careers and in different education settings.
What Our CPD Programs Include;
- Innovation Bootcamps
These are intensive training sessions where educators learn new and creative ways to teach. Participants explore learner-centered teaching methods, classroom innovation, problem-solving skills, and simple ways to improve lesson delivery. The focus is on practical ideas that can be used immediately in classrooms and schools.
2. Pedagogy Clinics
Our pedagogy clinics focus on how teaching actually happens. Educators receive practical guidance on lesson planning, classroom management, assessment, early-grade reading, inclusive education, and student engagement. These clinics help teachers teach with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
3. Leadership and School Management Training
AFFiT believes every educator is a leader. Our leadership programs support teachers, school heads, lecturers, and administrators to lead classrooms, schools, and institutions more effectively. Topics include leadership skills, mentoring, decision-making, teamwork, and managing change in education settings.
4. Digital Learning and Technology Skills
Technology is now part of teaching. AFFiT CPD programs help educators learn how to use digital tools, online platforms, and educational technology in simple and practical ways. Participants gain skills in digital content creation, online teaching, data-supported instruction, and responsible use of technology.
5. Conferences, Workshops, and Learning Forums
AFFiT organizes learning events where educators meet, learn from experts, share experiences, and discuss current issues in education. These events create opportunities for networking, collaboration, and exposure to new ideas and best practices from across Africa and beyond.
6. Certification and Specialized Courses
AFFiT offers structured CPD courses and certifications in areas such as teaching methods, curriculum development, research skills, education leadership, ICT, entrepreneurship in education, and green education. These certifications strengthen professional credibility and support career growth.
