Abstract

This working paper from the TPD@Scale Coalition for the Global South argues that harnessing the power of information and communications technologies (ICTs) is essential to address the challenge of providing equitable, quality TPD for all teachers. Drawing on scholarship and initiatives in diverse contexts, it proposes the TPD@Scale Framework to guide the design and implementation of high-quality, equitable, and efficient professional development at scale for teachers. The TPD@Scale Framework is specifically concerned with meeting the professional learning needs of large numbers of teachers with diverse characteristics and skills, many of whom have limited access to resources and poor social conditions of work.
