STiR Education is delighted to publish a new case study which was prepared by David Childress as part of the International Institute for Educational Planning of UNESCO (IIEP-UNESCO) and Education Development Trust research project on ‘Instructional leaders at the middle tier of education systems’. This research is looking at ‘middle tier’ roles in education systems: those professionals, such as district supervisors, pedagogical coaches and teacher mentors, who work across schools to support teaching and learning. It offers insights into their potential as change agents and how to strengthen their role in the education delivery chain.
This case study, entitled “Supporting teachers from the middle tier: The Teacher Development Coordinator Programme in Delhi“, is one of five which will form part of the research, and we have received special permission to publish this on our own website. It’s been hugely valuable to have this detailed research into our work alongside the Delhi government, and the case study identifies some exciting positive effects of our work, as well as challenges for us to consider as we continue our project.
STiR CEO Girish Menon said: “We’d like to thank David Childress and the team at IIEP-UNESCO, as well as Dr. B. P. Pandey and every member of the Delhi education system who contributed to this research. We’re proud to be making a strong contribution to education in Delhi, and look forward to learning from the other case studies in the final publication.”
