This second webinar brought together Dr. Danielle Falk (International Rescue Committee), Dr. Mary Mendenhall (Teachers College, Columbia University), and Mading Peter Angong (Education Action in Crisis) to share their ongoing research with teachers working amidst conflict, crisis, and forced displacement.

Entitled Lead for learning, this report argues that, in pursuing specific goals, education leaders are more than just managers. They are change agents, who need the time, trust and support to focus on setting a vision and developing the people they serve and work with. The report calls for investment in and empowerment of school and system leaders. There should be fair hiring processes and growth opportunities that recognize the full scope of leaders’ roles. Moreover, leadership works best when it is shared, empowering others to lead as they can within their roles.

The Teacher Classroom Observation (TCO) Tool was developed to evaluate teacher practice and classroom quality in low- and middle-income countries including conflict and crisis-affected contexts.

This study’s overall research objective was to understand the effects of current hiring, training and evaluation policies and practices on TCTs’ motivation to work and their perceptions of teacher management policies, system practices and working conditions in Jordan. This brief focuses on the outcomes of the qualitative components.

This study’s overall research objective was to understand the effects of current hiring, training and evaluation policies and practices on TCTs’ motivation to work and their perceptions of teacher management policies, system practices and working conditions in Jordan. This technical brief focuses on the quantitative findings.

The study presented here applied systems thinking to the context of Jordan to assess the wider factors and potential misalignments affecting teacher management in the country.

The review recommends a multifaceted approach to improving teacher management that is assets-based, to recognise teachers’ inherent knowledge and skills, and prioritise their perspectives and experiences in policymaking.

This policy brief outlines the extent to which the 2019 Kaduna State Teacher Recruitment, Deployment and Retention Policy has been implemented as intended. It highlights the factors that enabled or hindered the implementation process and provides recommendations for policymakers seeking to improve teacher management processes in Northeast Nigeria and other conflict-affected settings

The primary purpose of the study was to pinpoint incoherences within the teacher management system, which serves significant refugee populations as well as Jordanian nationals, and to highlight possible solutions and ways forward to address misalignments that can compromise the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of the education system
