Mapalo Data

Sorry that the chart is so small (click on it to make it bigger), but this is a chart measuring the impact of the Jubilee Centre Teacher Training Program on each of the teachers in the pilot program. We rate our teachers on 12 skills that we believe make exemplary teachers in Zambia. We gauge their skill ratings based upon a rubric that was developed. In each of the skills, the teachers can be rated as novice, beginning proficient, proficient, or exemplary. A point value is assigned to each rating with an exemplary rating being worth 10 points. On a 120 point scale our teachers, on average, made a 17.8 point increase on the rubric which is representative of a 46% change.

Some people connect better with stories of teachers appreciating the training and changing their practice while others want substantive data. I am here to provide both for you. (There is also a graph of each teacher's progression for the visual learners.) For full disclosure, we have taken parts of this rating system from other sources. It is not our original design, but we have modified a lot of things to fit our situation in Zambia.
