We were delighted to participate in the recent International Study Association on Teachers and Teaching (ISATT) Regional Conference that took place at University of Maseno, Kenya, and share insights on sustainable teaching for the future – particularly foundational and social emotional learning that extends beyond the classroom to engage parents and communities. It was also valuable to explore potential research and conference partnerships with fellow participants.

ISATT is an International Research Community dedicated to advancing research on teachers, teaching and teacher education worldwide’. We are proud that our Executive Director, Mary Goretti Nakabugo, serves as Uganda’s National Representative on ISATT.
