Program Description

The Adapting and Scaling Teacher Professional Development at Scale (TPD@Scale) was a two-year research project (2020-2022) that sought to contextualize, customize, test, and continuously improve upon TPD@ Scale models in Ghana. The research sought to understand what adaptations may be needed to promote equitable, quality, and cost-effective TPD at scale. The Ghana TPD@Scale piloted two new ICT-mediated TPD models: an online-learning virtual-only mode and a hybrid model which combined online learning with in-person support from district education actors.
