Abstract
This study by Mathematica Policy Research examines the innovative approaches that the multi-donor Partnership to Strengthen Innovation and Practice in Secondary Education (PSIPSE) employed to improve teacher quality in East Africa and India. The study specifically showcases the importance of both building a cost-effective, streamlined model that is highly scalable and ensuring that teachers receive the time and support they need to acquire new teaching skills. It highlights a host of design considerations including offering teachers low-burden methods to facilitate active learning in the classroom, using a phased training approach to enable gradual skills acquisition, and engaging staff from teacher training colleges in the intervention to influence preservice institutions.
