Our Mission
Our Vision
We envision the Summer Fellowship for Innovative Teaching (SFIT) as a mechanism for honoring and awarding our best teachers every year. Honoring and awarding teachers as Fellows of the Murdock-Thompson Center for Teachers, we hope to spread innovation while incentivizing all teachers to strive for excellence through self-advocacy. Our organization works both in public and private schools in Côte d’Ivoire and Nigeria in rural and urban communities. We maintain a special partnership with Intellectual Giants of Africa Foundation (INGAF), based in Abuja, Nigeria, to offer field work and strengthen relationships with existing and potential new school partners.
