1. Identify sample schools:

A) Delivery partners will identify sample schools based on the scope of their implementation (full or partial).

i) For full implementation, identify 200 schools, plus additional schools to account for withdrawals, in four different types of schools (50 schools each in public urban/semi-urban, public rural, private urban/semi-urban, and private rural) as per GSL selection criteria. For each program, GSL will randomly assign the 50 schools as 40 intervention and 10 control schools.

ii) For partial implementation (public or private schools only), plus additional schools to account for withdrawals, with half from urban/semi-urban areas, and half in urban areas. For each program, GSL will randomly assign the 50 schools to 40 intervention and 10 control schools.

B) Secure the participation of 40 intervention schools in each group (160 total for full implementation, 80 for partial) to receive the training.

​

2. Engage school leaders in intervention schools (3 leaders per school).

​

3. Secure necessary official permissions for training, implementation, and research activities.

​

4. Conduct training:

A) Delivery partners will manage all aspects of training program delivery, including familiarising themselves with GSL’s training materials and participating in train-the-trainer sessions provided by GSL.

B) The delivery of training will involve 

i) Five in-person one-day learning sessions held once every two or three months. These sessions will provide opportunities for interactive discussions, networking, and practice of concepts being learned.

ii) Assignments and follow-up (through coaching and/or professional learning communities)

iii) As needed, reimbursing travel or internet costs incurred by educators participating in the program.

​

5. Monitor program implementation by collecting data and information on training attendance, feedback, and program uptake.

​

6. Coordinate research activities:

Our research partner, TKG, will conduct research around this program through a baseline and endline survey of teachers and school leaders, complemented by a qualitative study including interviews, classroom observations, and observations of teacher and school leader interactions, to gather more insights for program improvement. Delivery partners will closely work with GSL and TKG to facilitate data collection: 

• Coordinate sample schools for research activities:

  • Provide the list of intervention and control schools so that GSL and TKG may identify a small sample of schools to participate in baseline and endline surveys. 

  • Communicate with the intervention schools and local government

  • Provide support in getting government permits to collect data.

• Coordinate baseline and endline surveys of teachers and school leaders:

  • Review and provide inputs to the survey questions. 

  • Coordinate with TKG to ensure that in the intervention schools, the baseline survey takes place before the program begins, and the endline activities take place only after the program ends. 

  • Facilitate the administration of baseline and endline surveys of teachers and school leaders.

• Facilitation of the qualitative study:

  • Review and provide inputs to the in-depth qualitative study that will be carried out in a sample of the schools.

  • Coordinate with GSL and TKG on the timeline and logistics of the qualitative study.

  • Connect TKG researchers with the schools and support them to organize in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and observations of school leader and teacher interactions.

  • Provide GSL and TKG with the necessary contexts and other information to validate some findings from the field.

  • Collaborate with GSL in generating insights for program improvement.
