Teacher Training Implementation Director

Job Title: Teacher Training Implementation Director

Job Location: Nairobi

Client Profile:

Our client, Bridge International Academies is a startup revolutionizing education across Africa with a truly unique business model. The company has launched a large-scale franchise-like network of ultra low-cost for-profit private primary schools across Africa.

The schools profitably deliver high-quality education for less than $4 per child per month, enabling local School Managers to operate their school businesses profitably, while creating a highly successful business at the central level.

Bridge have already launched the first 25 schools in their network in the slums of Nairobi with tremendous success, and plan to rapidly scale the company to serve more than 1 million families in Africa

Bridge International has developed an extensive Training Institute for their new Teachers. Candidates are recruited from the local community and then trained to become effective Teachers in only 7 weeks.

The training program is highly effective because it focuses on the most practical areas they need to master to succeed from the first day of school. For example, Teacher Training focuses on assessment tools, classroom management and discipline, and implementing scripted lesson plans, which are based on the Kenyan national curriculum.

Like their curriculum, the Training Institute is extremely well planned. Training facilitators follow a handbook and detailed daily schedule to deliver consistent lectures, discussions, practice sessions and exams. This is called “Training in a Box” model.

Due to the standardization and systematizing, their approach is most similar to that of other large scale chains of service businesses, like McDonalds.

Our client is seeking a full-time Training Implementation Director with experience managing large teams through multiple layers of management. The Training Implementation Manager will oversee the logistics of multiple training sites.

This position will supervise 20-30 Facilitators, 5-6 Teacher Training Managers who each manage 4-6 Facilitators, an Administrative Assistant Supervisor (supervising the team of 30 Administrative Assistants), and supervising the Training Logistics Assistant to ensure that the seven- week long training sessions are effective and well organized.

  • Work with the Procurement Department to ensure all Training Supplies are ordered and available for training
  • Visit schools when Training is not in session and work closely with the Curriculum and Operations departments to assess additional Teacher Training needs, based on the needs identified for new teachers in the classroom.
