Pilot study: impact of school director-led workplace professional development training for in-service teachers

Teacher’s attitudes and strategies can be influenced by workplace
professional learning, which in turn affects student engagement and learning.
Although educators are accountable for their professional development, the
school must be learning-centered and able to provide resources for all
members of the institution to improve their teaching and learning skills for
the overall development of the school. The project's goal was to perform a
pilot intervention study on the impact of school director-led workplace
professional development for in-service teachers to provide evidence and
recommendations on the impact of school director-led workplace
professional development training for teachers. The intervention study on
school director-led workplace professional development training for teachers
on formative assessment indicates that there were significant changes in
teachers’ understanding and use of formative assessment. The result found
that there is statistical difference between the teacher’s pre- and postintervention survey response on formative assessment workplace
professional development training. The evidence stands as a
recommendation for school directors, teachers, the ministry of education and
other stakeholders for quality teaching and whole school development
