Our Mission: Empowering Teachers to Lead and Inspire
We turn global evidence into everyday classroom practice in Bangladesh (BD) — building confident teachers, effective leaders, and better outcomes for students.
From evidence to impact
Great teaching transforms lives. Our role is to equip teachers and school leaders in Bangladesh with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to improve learning for every student.
Too often, professional development depends on tradition or opinion. EBTD is different. We draw on global research — including the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), the UK National Professional Qualifications (NPQs), UNESCO and UNICEF guidance — and translate it into practical steps for Bangladeshi classrooms.
Our vision for Bangladesh
We see a future where evidence-based strategies are normal practice, leaders drive lasting improvement, and student outcomes rise across the country. By blending global research with local context, we ensure training is rigorous, practical, and culturally relevant.
What makes us different
- Locally tailored: Designed specifically for Bangladeshi classrooms and constraints.
- Evidence-driven: Focused on approaches with the biggest impact on learning.
- Practical: Classroom-first routines, not theory alone.
- Sustainable: We build capacity so schools keep improving long after training ends.

- Measure and refine: We focus on observable change and simple, meaningful evidence of impact.
Questions and answers
More about EBTD’s mission, approach and how to work with us in Bangladesh (BD).
How is EBTD different from typical training providers?
We translate robust evidence into context-specific routines for Bangladeshi classrooms. Each resource is designed for immediate use, with clear models, examples and coaching prompts that help change stick.
What does EBTD stand for?
EBTD stands for Evidence Based Teacher Development — an organisation dedicated to improving teaching and leadership in Bangladesh through research-informed, practical professional development.
What does “evidence-based” mean in practice?
It means we prioritise approaches with strong research support and we adapt them to local realities. For example: explicit instruction with structured talk; retrieval and spaced practice; formative assessment and responsive teaching; metacognition and self-regulation; and implementation guidance for leaders.
Do you offer Bangla-friendly resources?
Yes. Many pages include Bangla toggles or localised versions, and our training materials are written to be used in bilingual contexts. Where full translation is needed, we provide templates and guidance.
Who are your programmes for?
Classroom teachers, department and faculty leaders, school leaders, and tutors. Schools and networks can commission tailored partnership programmes aligned to specific priorities.
How do schools measure impact with EBTD?
We agree observable routines and short, practical evidence sources (work samples, questioning probes, lesson artefacts). Leaders use simple progress checks aligned to the BRIDGE framework to evaluate and refine.
How can we partner with EBTD?
Explore School Partnerships, or contact us via the Contact page. We’ll scope your goals, co-design a plan, and support implementation and review.
