WB/Helping Countries Accelerate Learning

Description What is done in the programme or project and why, what results are pursued, who benefits from the activities and who are involved in the implementation.

The Development Objective of the global Coach program is to accelerate student learning by improving in-service professional development in low- and middle-income settings. Coach will focus on helping teachers improve pedagogical techniques that are relevant to everyday classroom practices (such as redirecting student misbehavior or checking for student understanding). Through Coach, the team will develop materials to help identify teachers’ individual professional development needs and provide support to improve the quality of teacher-child interactions in the classroom.
