Exploring principles of effective continuing professional development for teachers in low- and middle-income countries

A report on the continuing professional development of teachers.

Working with the British Council, experts at the Centre for the Use of Research and Evidence in Education (CUREE) explore the current state of research evidence around the continuing professional development (CPD) of teachers working in low- and middle-income countries. This report aims to answer these questions: what does the evidence tell us is most likely to be effective CPD for these teachers? Is this similar or different to the CPD needs of teachers in higher-income contexts? What specific challenges are likely to emerge when offering CPD in these contexts? The report also explores the extent to which more evidence is required in order to draw firmer conclusions to inform the development of effective CPD programmes.
