Supporting and upskilling teachers are essential to enhancing the quality of learning in developing contexts – the focus of Education For All – yet little evidence exists concerning what kinds of teacher education are actually most effective and what changes in ‘quality’ are desired and feasible. This paper illustrates how a concrete, research-informed school-based, model of professional development in sub-Saharan Africa can address the quality agenda. It reports on a trial of a pioneering,...

Developing sustainable and scalable educational initiatives is a key challenge in low-income countries where donor-funded short-term projects are limited by both contextual factors and programme design. In this commentary we examine some of the issues related to in-service teacher development in the context of sub-Saharan Africa, grounded predominantly in our work of over five years of iteratively developing, refining and evaluating an intensive school-based professional learning programme...

Educational technologies offer potential to enhance formally...

This chapter describes a study which explored the feasibility of using information and communications technologies (ICTs) to support more interactive forms of subject teaching and learning in Sub-Saharan Africa. Specifically, we: • provided open educational resources (OER) to three ICT-and Internetequipped primary schools in Zambia, all serving disadvantaged communities; • worked with partners to identify the needs of school-based continuing professional development (CPD) adapted to the...
