Finding the right Teacher Continuous Professional Development model
Is there a value in establishing a social space, equipped with teacher resources, to coordinate teacher continuous professional development? Enter Teacher's Lounge, Co-Creation Hub's initiative to make CPD more engaging. In this edition of ADEA's ALT podcast, we discussed the impact of CC-Hub's Teacher's Lounge in skilling teachers around innovative pedagogy, subject mastery, digital literacy and socio-emotional well being.
The Teacher's Lounge started off as STEM Cell on WhatsApp, during COVID-19. It was a means to keep up interaction with teachers and share teaching best practices. It has since evolved into a community of practice that triggered peer learning among participants.
Find out how this initiative has impacted teacher delivery and how to scale it up to benefit communities in rural and hard to reach locations as well as some of the immediate results from that intervention in Nigeria and Kenya.
