Mercy is a former teacher and currently supports teacher development at Dignitas. Mercy's bold question is “How might we support teachers to collaborate for personal and professional growth?” Her Metis fellowship experience has guided her to design and implement a Professional Learning Community (PLC) structure to support ongoing teacher development. "I want teachers to continue to learn and improve even when Dignitas no longer formally coaches them. They need to drive their own learning and growth, and that's what I'm learning to do at Metis. I'm also collaborating with a KICD leader who will implement PLCs at a national government level."
