We promote global educational equality and improved student outcomes through high-quality, subject-specific, borderless professional development options, to build confidence in English and Literature teachers wherever they may teach.
Co-founder, Carolyn Newall has taught in a number of contexts in Australia and internationally. She became aware of vast differences in access to quality, rigorous professional development for teachers depending on where they lived. While this may have been harder to manage in the past, the internet removes many of the barriers of old.
Having been born in India, and having spent her primary years in Singapore, Carolyn has long been troubled by the opportunity gap that exists for children in different countries and regions. She is absolutely convinced that education is the only tool that can offer lasting change.
While teaching in Queensland she met Judy Hefferan, another passionate teacher concerned for equality in education. As teachers they realised that students engaged better in classes where their teachers were confident in their subject knowledge. Yet not all teachers had access to the same quantity and/or quality of pre-service training or professional development. Together they began We Teach Well as a way of reducing inherent inequalities in access to engaging and quality education for so many of the worlds children.
There is substantial research to support the idea that children are better served by teachers who are confident in their subject knowledge, who are able to differentiate in their classrooms on the fly. We can provide professional development that increases teacher confidence.
We Teach Well has formed a business model that enables schools in developed countries to work with and assist their colleagues in the developing world.
