The evidence is clear: effective teacher professional development (TPD) needs to include ongoing and individualized support to teachers in order to impact teachers’ instruction, and subsequently student learning. However, what is less clear are the details of what effective coaching looks like in practice, especially in low-and-middle country settings.

This episode tries to answer these questions, building on the World Bank’s new “Facilitating Effective 1-1 Support Technical Guidance Note." This note provides guidance on how pedagogical leaders can effectively carry out coaching sessions to support teacher learning and improvement. Through implementation tips, case studies, and contextual considerations for policymakers, the note demonstrates how 1-1 coaching can be adapted to a variety of educational contexts. In this episode, Safaa El Tayeb El-Kogali, Practice Manager for South and East Africa at the World Bank, facilitates a dynamic conversation on the opportunities and challenges in utilizing the note's findings as part of government dialogue and implementation of TPD reforms. Safaa is joined by Dr. Philippa Cordingley, Chief Executive of Centre for the Use of Research and Evidence in Education, Dahlia Elhefnawy, Educational Consultant with Egypt’s Ministry of Education and Technical Education, and Gabrielle Arenge, Doctoral Researcher at the University of Cambridge and co-author of the guidance note.
