About the event
There has been tremendous progress toward the world’s commitment to giving every child a school education—and now that most children are in school, the focus must shift to learning, which requires fundamental change. A crucial part of such change is taking systemwide action to support teaching.
Teaching is a complex craft. Accordingly, supporting teaching can involve many different actions. For example, education authorities must ensure that teachers have access to high-quality training and instructional materials that suit the needs of the children in their classrooms. Also, teacher career structures must be designed to attract, retain, and motivate quality teaching—based on the motivational preferences of teachers in the context and on localised visions of what it means to be a good teacher.
This webinar will explore these and other aspects of how educations systems can support teaching. The webinar will begin with brief presentations from Joan DeJaeghere, Shintia Revina, Soufia Anis Siddiqi, Jacobus Cilliers, and Yue-Yi Hwa. In their presentations, each of these five researchers will draw on research they conducted throughout the duration of the RISE Programme to answer the question: “What have we learned about how to support teaching?” These presentations will be reflective and practical rather than technical and theoretical. They will draw on research spanning a range of country contexts, academic disciplines, and research approaches.
The presentations will be followed with an open discussion on how to support teaching, chaired by Michelle Kaffenberger and drawing on questions from the audience.
