Research Hub: Free Teacher Resources

At EBTD, we are committed to bringing the very best of global educational research and professional development resources to teachers in Bangladesh. This hub is your gateway to evidence-based tools, research summaries, and free online courses (MOOCs) that can strengthen your teaching practice and support your career growth.

We’ve organised the hub into key areas of teacher development, research from around the world and influential educators and thinkers so you can find what you need quickly.

We hope you find this section useful and if you think we’ve missed anything that you think other teachers will find useful, please get in touch.

We’ve added a dedicated section on Assessment MOOCs — free, online professional development courses from respected universities and organisations. These are accessible at no cost and offer practical strategies to improve teaching, testing, and feedback.

Context matters. Curated Bangladesh-based studies, pilots, and case write-ups, linking research to realistic classroom moves and school-level change.

High-quality, classroom-focused research from UK bodies. We highlight the practical implications for lesson planning, feedback, and curriculum in Bangladesh.

Accessible syntheses of international research and global best practice, with clear adaptations for local conditions (class size, resources, language).

A gateway to key researchers and practitioner-scholars. We distill their ideas into teacher-friendly tools—no jargon, just what to do on Sunday.

Downloadable templates, lesson planning guides, and classroom tools designed for Bangladeshi teachers. Everything is evidence-based and ready to adapt to your context.

Guides and research on effective school leadership, coaching, mentoring, and management practices to help leaders raise standards and support staff.

Practical strategies and research to support learners with diverse needs, including SEND, language barriers, and disadvantaged backgrounds.

Evidence-based approaches for pre-primary and early primary classrooms, focusing on literacy, play-based learning, and foundational skills.
