All four teachers from the preschool #448 in Santa Ana, Cusco participated in our Innovative Pedagogy program this year. The school’s Principal, Yesica Sosa Carpio, certified our Innovative Pedagogy course in 2022 and then our Best Practices course in 2023, so she was more than able to accompany her teachers/colleagues on their Innovative Pedagogy journey. In addition, one of the teachers, Ruth, worked in our Sihua community project almost ten years ago! The old and the new came together in Santa Ana this year and the results were impressive! So impressive, in fact, that they won the 2024 National Contest of Educational Innovation Projects!
Congratulations to these stand-out teachers for all the effort and investment to make their classrooms a space for critical and creative thinking, socio-emotional well-being, local culture, and innovative pedagogy!
