Today, Mariah O’Mara, Head of Communications of HundrED, speaks with Manal Quota, Senior Education Specialist at The World Bank and edtech innovators Agustín Porres, LATAM Regional Director at the Varkey Foundation – Comunidad Atenea, and Sameer Sampat, Co-Founder – Global School Leaders.
The World Bank and HundrED launched the Teachers for a Changing World global contest to crowdsource tech-based solutions to teacher professional development. From a pool of over 400 applications, the teams identified the ten most impactful and scalable programs as the “T4T Champions”. In today’s episode, we discuss how two of these Champions have integrated technology in their TPD programs to ensure that teachers are engaged with the materials provided, and that their programs achieve the desired impact on teaching practices. What lessons can we learn from these experiences on how to leverage technology to support teachers remotely? This episode features two of the ten T4T Champions - Comunidad Atenea and Global School Leaders.
