The role of research in teacher training and development: case studies from Nigeria

The Partnership to Strengthen Innovation and Practice in Secondary Education (PSIPSE) is a funder collaborative that seeks to increase secondary education access and improve learning outcomes for marginalized populations. In Nigeria, recipients of PSIPSE grants are concerned with the quality of teaching and learning in Nigerian schools and a number of PSIPSE grantees use or incorporate research to address some of the identified challenges in teacher development. This report explores the broad context of teacher development, and highlights a number of private and public sector models of teacher training and support currently in operation.
