This open access book presents a comparative study on how
large-scale professional development programs for teachers are
designed and implemented. Around the world, governments and
educators are recognizing the need to educate students in a broad
range of higher order cognitive skills and socio-emotional
competencies, and providing effective opportunities for teachers to
develop the expertise needed to teach these skills is a crucial
aspect of effective implementation of curricula which include those
goals. This study examines how large-scale efforts to empower
teachers for deeper instruction have been designed, how they have
been implemented, and their outcomes. To do so, it investigates six
programs from England, Colombia, Mexico, India, and the United
States. Though all six are intended to broaden and deepen students'
curricular aspirations, each takes this expansion of curricular
goals in a different direction. The ambitious education reforms
studied here explicitly focus on building teachers' capacity to
teach on a broader set of goals. Through a discerning analysis of
program documents, evaluations, and interviews with senior leaders
and participants in the programs, the book identifies the various
theories of action used in these programs, examines how they were
implemented, and discusses what they achieved. As such, it offers
an indispensable resource for education leaders interested in
designing and implementing professional development programs for
teachers that are aligned with ambitious instructional goals.
