INNOVATE
The team in Kenya has been working closely with schools to develop innovations that reflect needs as determined by the learning domain selection and assessment data. In 2023, three years into the programme, 77 new schools joined forces and over 120 educators received their first round of HCD training. using a contextualised version of the Schools2030 Toolkit adapted for the Kenyan context. Find out more about this crucial step of the Three-Step model on our Innovate page.

The Place Value Kit
DESIGNED BY: Amina Mohammed Mbule, Ronald Ngala Primary School and Miswalehe Hamisi Chigarimbwe, Vyemani Primary School
TO IMPROVE: Numeracy, Problem Solving
AGE GROUP: Pre-School
The Place Value Kit addresses the challenge of knowing place values of numbers with two digits or more. The model has columns that allow learners to move digits from one column to the next demonstrating how place and value intersect in any given number.

Students are able to physically interact with the model which supports improved understanding of abstract concepts. The innovation is currently being incubated in 60 classrooms across Mombasa and Lamu County with teachers adapting it to suit different grade levels, usually by the addition of place values.
Grade 3 New Words TV and Tree Words Library
DESIGNED BY: Kizingitini Boys Primary School
TO IMPROVE: Literacy, Collaboration, Problem Solving, Self-efficacy
AGE GROUP: Primary School
This innovation was developed to address literacy because learners lacked self-efficacy and confidence in reading. The new word TV contains words and sentences that are written progressively and a learner can scroll through as they read.
Show More
The material is interactive and engaging so as the learner manipulates it, their confidence slowly builds and they are better able to converse with new words. The learner also gets an opportunity to lead his/her peers in in the activity and this builds his/her confidence in interacting with other people.
