Tanzania
How can Tanzania effectively implement programmes promoting new teaching methods for improving instructional quality?
Improving new curriculum rollout and access and use of electronic learning management system (eLMS)
Tanzania is currently rolling out a new curriculum targeting more effective student-centred learning. Simultaneously, the government is implementing a two-pronged in-service teacher training programme.
This project is focused on how Tanzania Institute of Education and other implementation agencies involved can improve: 1) understanding, take-up and delivery of the new curriculum; and 2) access, engagement and use of the electronic Learning Management System.
Enhancing effectiveness of school/cluster-based teacher continuous professional development activities in Tanzania
The project is exploring the policies designed to get teachers to learn together and practise new teaching methods.
There is currently a high-level policy demand to improve instructional quality in Tanzania. Using this context, the project aims to address how to leverage local bureaucrat monitoring to increase the likelihood that teachers adopt improved teaching practices and how implementation can be supported at both a central government agency level and school level.
