Applications are open for the TaRL Africa Fellowship Programme 2.0. The TaRL Africa Fellowship Programme aims to enhance TaRL’s technical capacity on the African continent by supporting the development of Sub-Saharan Africa Leaders of TaRL Practice.
These are individuals who can grow and improve TaRL across the continent with the ultimate goal of ensuring all children acquire foundational skills.
Through the TaRL Africa Fellowship, leaders of practice from countries across Africa with deep experience in the classroom, will get to diversify their skill set and be exposed to different contexts, strengthen their design, training and methodological skills and support the growth and refinement of TaRL across Africa.
The Fellows will thereafter have an opportunity to participate in a number of capacity-building activities led by TaRL Africa.
Benefits
The TaRL Africa Fellowship Programme is centred around a core TaRL methodology and TaRL Africa organisational principle of learning by doing.
TaRL Fellows will be required to dedicate 15 percent of their time (at Least 50 working days in total) for 18 months to TaRL Africa Fellowship activities. These will include:
- Attending training workshops to refine their TaRL skills.
- Co-training and co-designing TaRL programmes with the TaRL Africa and Pratham teams in new locations within Africa to build exposure to new contexts and to strengthen contextualisation and adaptation skills.
- Co-designing teaching-learning materials for new contexts.
- Learning about the innovations in the TaRL methodology.
- Strengthening mentoring capacity.
- Engaging with other Fellows and TaRL Africa team members to discuss, analyse and solve various classroom and training challenges experienced throughout Africa.
TaRL Africa Fellows will be featured on the TaRL Africa website and, upon completion of the 18 months programme, will be certified by TaRL Africa as TaRL Trainers.
With the idea that “once a TaRL Fellow, always a TaRL fellow”, following completion of the programme, Fellows will become active members of the TaRL Fellow Alumni Programme.
