Abstract: In this interactive workshop, I will share with participants and answer questions about my 6-month adventure in Rwanda teaching and learning at the Kigali Institute of Education. As a Fulbrighter, my project was to help the country reform their mathematics curriculum to make it more student-centered – you will get to hear first-hand if I accomplished my goals and what challenges I encountered along the way. I will also share with you ideas and strategies that helped me adapt to challenges in the classroom (and that I think you can use as well).
