"It's shocking how little teacher PD, especially in LMIC, adheres to what we know to be high-quality and effective. A framework of core instructional practice can provide teachers with practical, concrete, and flexible strategies to develop foundational practice." Dive into an insightful brief by NYU-TIES Senior Research Scientist Dr Lindsay Brown titled, "Transforming Teacher Professional Development: A Core Practice Approach for Education in Emergencies," to explore innovative solutions for educators in challenging environments. The piece appeared within the NORRAG publication titled, Refugee Teachers: The Heart of the Global Refugee Response.
This brief discusses the Core Practice approach for transforming teacher professional development, particularly in fragile contexts. It outlines how Core Practices, a set of evidence-based, high-impact teaching techniques, can enhance student learning outcomes by offering an approach that is practical, coherent, and adaptable. A Core Practice approach offers a structured and concrete practice-based learning cycle that has been shown to increase teacher uptake of practice in diverse and challenging environments. The framework also fosters a common vision and language of high-quality teaching practice, increasing collaboration and consistent messaging among educational stakeholders.
