Curriculum and Training

Quality curriculum and instruction can provide children with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive. Yet teachers often receive insufficient education themselves—adequate professional training—to impart knowledge to their students. Similarly, the curricula and materials with which teachers must work often lack sufficient content or strategies that can guide their students in activity-based learning. As a result, children struggle to acquire even the most basic math and reading skills—much less the belief that they can succeed in school. Many drop out even before reaching middle school.

STS’s approach to curriculum development prioritizes simple, sequenced curricula that engage students in activity-based learning. STS’s approach to teacher training is skills-based, ensuring teachers have an opportunity to practice new strategies in a supportive environment and to reflect on their practice as they grow.

Our expertise stretches from supporting ministries of education to develop curriculum and standards, to crafting integrated lesson plans and tools for teachers, to creating supportive learning materials for students. We frequently work with communities and ministries of education to build local capacity in gender responsiveness, inclusive curriculum design, and teacher training. In all our projects, STS’s experts work closely with educational leaders and government officials to design models that are responsive and sustainable. Our goal is to create a climate of collaboration and support that allows the best ideas to surface and be disseminated to all those involved.

STS’s experience across education systems, coupled with our extensive work in education assessment and evaluation, uniquely positions us to provide the highest quality technical assistance in curriculum development and in teachers’ professional development.
