Abstract

The Government of Bangladesh is making substantial investment in blended learning for teachers. Teachers undertake face-to-face trainings in Continuous Professional Development (CPD) priority areas, such as supporting students’ foundational learning. In parallel, teachers access TPD courses on Muktopaath, an eLearning platform, focused on these same priority areas. Local Education Officers have a pivotal role in the delivery of these trainings and in supporting their practical application in schools and classrooms. This Policy Brief explores teachers’ participation in one set of eLearning courses, Anonde Gonit Shikhi (AGS). It makes evidence-based recommendations on how Local Education Officers at District and Upazila levels can encourage and support teachers to translate learning from both the online courses and face-to-face trainings into the intended changes in teaching practices and student learning in the classroom.
