In 2024, the ALiVE Academy beckoned, and I heeded the call! I joined the Academy with the goal of acquiring knowledge and skills necessary to support the effective implementation of the ALiVE program in Kenya.
Since then, I have greatly benefited from training in item writing management, and I am currently undertaking a course on Basic Statistics and key concepts in Psychometrics.
The learning experience has been both enriching and practical, offering hands-on sessions and individual assignments that have deepened my understanding and allowed me to directly connect what I learn with my work.
I am privileged to be part of the ALiVE Academy. Learning from leading experts in the field, alongside a community of dedicated scholars, has made the experience incredibly valuable. The practical nature of the training has made it easier to bridge theory and practice, and I now feel more confident in my ability to develop high-quality assessment items—quite a significant improvement from those I created before joining the Academy.
I am sincerely grateful to the ALiVE leadership for the opportunity to be part of this transformative journey, to Prof. Esther Care for her exceptional training, and to my fellow scholars for the collaborative spirit and shared insights that have made the learning process both effective and enjoyable.
