Cheffie Primary School
Pilot School AAEB Collaboration

Cheffie Primary School is one of the 10 pilot schools part of the Addis Ababa Education Bureau collaboration with Thinking Schools Ethiopia Project. The 10 schools, including Cheffie Primary School  (visit the school Facebook page) received leadership team training recently in June 2014. The next phase of the implementation includes regular onsite visits to all 10 schools including professional development with the whole school staff, demonstration lessons with students by Thinking Schools Ethiopia facilitators and staff from the respective schools. The initial training is focused on whole school implementation of Thinking Maps (visual tools) supported by the integration of inquiry methods and collaborative learning. The lead facilitators for Thinking Schools Ethiopia (part of Eminence Social Entrepreneurs based in Addis Ababa) are Atsede Tsehayou and Dagim Melese.
