In this episode, I had a late, late-night seat down interview with change-makers,  Jamaican, Rwandese CEO, educational consultant, and attorney, Donnalee Donaldson at the fringes of the Segal Conference.  An educator and education development specialist with a passion for strengthening education systems, and designing academic programs that create equitable access to education for all, particularly underserved populations.   Donnalee co-founded secondary and tertiary education programs in four countries, including in a refugee camp.   Her expertise includes teacher training, instructional coaching, curriculum development, program design, refugee education/education in emergencies, creating school-to-workforce pipelines, competency-based education & student recruitment, and admissions.   She is currently serving as the Rwanda Country Director of Educate!, where she leads a team that uses a novel approach to teacher training to support the government's implementation of a competence-based curriculum.  An attorney by training, Donnalee's professional experience also includes litigation and policy work for four local government agencies. As an international education professional, she draws on her legal background to develop practical policy solutions to systemic education issues.  I am based in Rwanda, but available for consulting opportunities globally (and remotely).
