About the Academy
The Growth-minded Educators Academy is a premier professional development hub and innovation center dedicated to equipping teachers and school owners with relevant 21st-century and technological skills. We believe that the quality of an education system cannot exceed the quality of its teachers; therefore, our major reason for existing is to enhance student learning and transform the education landscape in Africa and beyond.
We serve as a strategic bridge between academic theory and the professional demands of the modern global market, ensuring that educators remain indispensable in a rapidly evolving industry.
Our Vision: The "Vision 10,000" Mandate
Founded and led by Abdullateef Adedeji, a professional trainer and researcher widely known as "The Flipped Classroom Expert," the Academy is driven by a mission to empower at least 10,000 educators. Our framework focuses on:
- Mindset: Shifting from "accidental teachers" to intentional change-makers and nation-builders.
- Knowledge: Equipping educators with modern pedagogies, AI-powered facilitation, and global frameworks like SDG 4.
- Exposure: Revealing unexplored career pathways and financial opportunities to ensure a profitable and sustainable teaching career.
