He also promotes EduSpots’ community-driven model, which empowers local leaders to create sustainable educational change.

Working as a Programs Analyst at the Institute of Teacher Education and Development (INTED), Isaac collaborated with colleagues and supported management in implementing educational programs aimed at building the local capacity of basic and high school teachers, while also addressing issues related to the underrepresentation of female teachers and the underperformance of female students in Ghanaian high schools.

In 2020, Isaac joined the Lead For Ghana fellowship, where he worked with a cohort of young leaders to transform learning outcomes in an underserved community school. While teaching mathematics at Bonwire M/A Junior High School, he launched the Write2Lead project,
establishing exercise book banks in rural schools to ensure learners could express their ideas after each lesson. The initiative has so far supported over 1,000 learners, from 4 rural schools with 16,600 exercise books.

Isaac’s initiatives have yielded substantial community improvements and earned him recognition through awards for leadership and innovation, including Lead For Ghana’s Most Influential Male and Entrepreneurial Spirit Awards and a Peace First Activation Grant Award.
