Teacher Resource Centre

TESSA (Teacher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa) is a network of educators across the region, coordinated by The Open University (UK). It provides open educational resources (OER) that support national curricula and promote active learning approaches. Materials are available in Arabic, English, French, and Kiswahili, and have been adapted for over 50 country contexts. TESSA resources are freely accessible, flexible, and designed to support both initial teacher training and ongoing professional development. They can be used independently or integrated into existing programmes.

The Learner Variability Navigator is an interactive tool designed to help educators understand how diverse learner factors influence learning. Through dynamic factor maps and strategy pages, users can explore research-based concepts across four categories: Learner Background, Social and Emotional Learning, Cognition, and Content Area. Each factor and strategy is linked to practical resources and implementation guidance, making it easy to personalize instruction. The platform also offers a professional learning section to support effective classroom integration and empower educators to design and implement practices that address learner variability.
