Quality teaching and student learning are tightly interconnected. Together they form two sides of a triangle. The third side of this triangle is often overlooked, but is also integral to teaching quality and student learning—quality instruction and preparation for teachers. Unfortunately, all too often, the children who could benefit most from quality teaching children in low-income contexts, in crisis or conflict settings, in remote or remote geographical environments—have little exposure to quality teaching. And unfortunately, all too often, in these same settings, the teachers who could benefit most from quality professional development (PD) that would equip them with the skills to help more children learn either receive no PD or take part in ineffective professional development.
