Esther Offeibea Asante

I teach English Language, Literature and Career Technology in Ghanaian primary and JHS classrooms—and spend the rest of my time on the research, community work and program coordination that sit just outside the lesson plan.

About

Classroom-first, research-minded

I'm a classroom teacher from Volta, Ghana, now teaching English Language and Literature in Tema. Across five schools and just as many regions of Ghana's basic education system, I've taught everything from English sounds to Career Technology—and spent equal time outside the classroom: running action research with my own learners, sitting on guidance and counseling committees, training as a ballot issuer for Ghana's Electoral Commission, and organizing community reading programmes.

My undergraduate thesis used cooperative learning to teach basic hygiene to seven-year-olds, working alongside nutritionists and public health officers. That kind of cross-sector collaboration—research grounded in a real classroom, built with people outside education—is the work I'd like to keep doing, whether that's in front of a class or inside an education programme.
