TEACHING AT THE RIGHT LEVEL CHALLENGE; KENYA

PROVEN INTERVENTION TO BE DISTRIBUTED

Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) is an education program that tailors instruction to the learning level of the child, rather than their age. The result is that basic literacy and numeracy are achieved by students before they finish primary school.

DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION

Soma Sawa will aggressively intervene at the right time to close the gaps in education before students become unsuccessful. Using Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) methodology, the venture will target 3rd to 5th grade students who are left behind in their classrooms to quickly help them catch up in Literacy and Numeracy. Soma Sawa will leverage resources from University partners, community volunteers, education enthusiasts and parents to offer a robust but cost effective innovation to students.

Dorothy Dulo is the founder of Soma Sawa. The founding team members are Joyce Wambare, Brian Etole, Ann Mamboleo, and Linda Akoth.
