Prof. Anne Kanga

 I am Dr. Anne Kanga, currently an Associate Professor at The Catholic University Of Eastern Africa.

I obtained my 1^st and 2^nd degree in Education from Kenyatta University, and a PhD in Instructional Leadership and Educational Research from the University of Alabama, USA. I am an educator with 38 years of Teaching, Research and Community Service, ranging from Basic to Higher Education (7 years high school teaching, 6 years Diploma Teachers College, 6 years Graduate Research Assistant, and 17 years University teaching). I am currently a senior lecturer, Faculty of Education, Catholic University of Eastern Africa. Closely and embedded in my teaching role is mentoring of pre-service teachers, a role I performed with excellence for 11 years as the Head of Teaching Practice and Mentoring Program at the University-The Catholic University of Eastern Africa. My specialization is in Instructional Leadership and Educational Research with a keen focus in Mixed Methods and Qualitative Research Methodologies. My research and scholarship focuses on Educational Equality and Equity for the disenfranchised, young adults as they navigate life, Student Centered Learning (SCL) and online teaching and learning.  As social inequalities and inequities in the society and reflected in educational institutions become more acute, I seek to explore and foreground a better understanding of how respective social institutions and especially the home and educational institutions can foster resilience and democratic practices for a just society. My teaching philosophy is informed by critical pedagogy and multiple intelligence theories that every learner has inherent potential to be the best of themselves if equality, equity, mentoring is observed leading to democratic spaces for all learners.
