In November 2020, UNICEF requested support from EdTech Hub to help the Government of Bangladesh improve the reach, effectiveness, and inclusiveness of the programme of activities proposed in the government’s Covid-19 Response and Recovery Plan: Education Sector (⇡Ministry of Primary and Mass Education, 2020). At that time, this plan led to a wide and diverse range of programmes initiated by the government and other stakeholders. As a result, EdTech Hub worked with the government and other stakeholders to rapidly create A Theory of Change (TOC) for a technology-enhanced education system (⇡Clark-Wilson et al., 2021). While acknowledging that parents, caregivers, teachers, school, and community leaders are also key stakeholders, the first TOC focused on learners as, ultimately, the desired impacts of a technology-enhanced education system are directed towards learners’ educational outcomes. One recommendation of the earlier working paper was that a TOC should also be developed that focused on teachers as key agents in the development of a technology-enhanced education system for the country. The process to develop this second TOC comprised a desktop review, interviews, and two stakeholder consultation workshops. The resulting teacher-centred TOC draws on existing theory and practice as well as stakeholders’ assumptions of how the evolving technology-enhanced teacher professional development offer might achieve its goals — and what conditions need to be in place to achieve this. This working paper documents and explains the teacher-centred TOC. An output of the EdTech Hub, https://edtechhub.org |
