Overview
For the past six years the Teacher Education in Sub Saharan Africa (TESSA) project has grown from a seed of an idea to an internationally-recognized and acclaimed model of collaborative OER development and implementation. Its attempts to address the need for more qualified teachers in Sub Saharan Africa have been met with great interest, and countries beyond the original 13-member consortium have expressed interest in piloting TESSA or adopting TESSA where there are few teacher training programs or none. This evaluation project will explore the strengths and opportunities for TESSA program development, and will provide information about the impact of TESSA on teacher training practices in a select group of countries.
