EBTD School Partnerships in Bangladesh – Leadership and Professional Development

School Training Partnerships in Bangladesh (BD)

Evidence-based professional development tailored to your school’s context, culture, and goals.

Bespoke Partnerships for Real Bangladeshi Schools

At Evidence Based Teacher Development (EBTD), we know that no two schools in Bangladesh are the same. Class sizes, exam pressures, curriculum models, staffing, and community expectations all vary — which is why we do not offer a one-size-fits-all menu of workshops.

Instead, we build partnerships that start with your priorities and end with measurable improvements in teaching, leadership, and student outcomes. We combine trusted global research with what we have learned from Bangladeshi classrooms to design professional development that is both ambitious and realistic for your context.

Whether you want to strengthen everyday classroom practice, develop middle and senior leaders, or embed a culture of continuous improvement, EBTD will work with you to create a programme that fits your timetable, resources, and long-term goals.

What You Can Expect from an EBTD Partnership

  • Training rooted in research, adapted for Bangladeshi classrooms.
  • Clear, practical strategies teachers can use the next day.
  • Support for leaders to turn training into sustained change.
  • Planning that fits school calendars and exam timelines.
  • Honest review of impact and next steps for improvement.

Why Schools Choose EBTD as a Training Partner

Our school partnerships are built around four core principles. Together, they help teachers, leaders, and students to thrive.

Deeply Bangladesh-Focused

We design training for the realities of Bangladeshi schools — large classes, bilingual contexts, exam-driven systems, and mixed prior attainment. Every example and model is selected with this context in mind.

Practical, Not Theoretical

Sessions focus on routines, models, and tools that teachers can implement immediately: lesson structures, questioning frameworks, retrieval routines, behaviour scripts, and assessment approaches that fit existing schemes of work.

Whole-School, Sustainable Change

We work with leaders to align training with school priorities, so new strategies are reinforced through coaching, observation, and follow-up — not left as isolated workshops.

Evidence-Led and Connected

Every partnership is underpinned by the EBTD Research Hub, drawing on international research and local case studies to guide decisions about teaching, curriculum, assessment, and leadership.

How an EBTD School Partnership Works

While every partnership is bespoke, most follow a clear, four-step model so that training is coherent, focused, and impactful.

Step 1

Needs Analysis and Priority Setting

We begin with a conversation and, where helpful, a short diagnostic using tools such as the BRIDGE school review framework. Together we identify:

  • Strengths in current teaching, leadership, and systems.
  • Areas where staff would benefit most from support.
  • How training can align with your improvement plan.
Step 2

Designing a Tailored Training Programme

We then build a sequence of sessions and support that matches your priorities. This may include:

  • Teacher Training in Bangladesh (BD) — six integrated modules, from behaviour and memory to assessment and curriculum design.
  • Leadership Development Pathways — for principals, senior leaders, faculty leaders, and behaviour leads.
  • Assessment, curriculum and test-design support, including fair, balanced papers and data use.
  • Inclusive teaching and support for learners with additional needs.

Programmes can be delivered as single-focus days, short sequences, or year-long pathways, depending on what will work best for your staff and calendar.

Step 3

Implementation Support and Coaching

Training sessions are most powerful when staff are supported to apply what they have learned. We can provide:

  • Follow-up clinics and planning workshops.
  • Coaching for leaders to run internal CPD and learning communities.
  • Observation and feedback tools linked to training content.

This helps schools build internal capacity rather than relying on one-off external input.

Step 4

Reviewing Impact and Planning Next Steps

Towards the end of the partnership cycle, we work with you to review impact using:

  • Teacher and leader feedback.
  • Classroom observations and learning walks.
  • Assessment information and student work.

From here, we can agree on refined priorities, further support, or ways for your school to sustain and scale the work independently.

Who We Work With

EBTD is available to support a wide range of schools and educational organisations across Bangladesh, including:

  • English-medium international schools.
  • National curriculum schools.
  • School groups and networks.
  • New or growing schools building teaching capacity.
  • Schools preparing for accreditation, inspection, or external review.
  • Organisations delivering teacher or leadership training in Bangladesh (BD).

Whether you are a single school looking to strengthen teaching practice, or a network seeking a more consistent approach to professional development, we can work with you to design a partnership that fits your needs and ambitions.

How School Partnerships Connect with the Wider EBTD Ecosystem

A school partnership is rarely just about one training day. It connects with EBTD’s wider programmes and resources:

Training Pathways

Research and Resources

Every partnership is backed by the EBTD Research Hub , which provides:

  • Guides to assessment, memory, classroom talk, and implementation.
  • Bangladesh-specific research summaries and case studies.
  • Downloadable tools and frameworks for teachers and leaders.

This means your staff can keep learning between sessions and after the partnership formally ends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straightforward answers about how EBTD school partnerships work in Bangladesh (BD), and what your school can expect.

What is an EBTD school partnership?

An EBTD school partnership is a tailored professional development programme designed around your school’s priorities. It can include teacher training, leadership development, assessment support, and ongoing implementation guidance — all rooted in evidence and adapted for the Bangladeshi context.

How is the training tailored to each school?

We begin with a needs analysis, looking at your improvement plan, context, and staff feedback. From there, we co-design a sequence of sessions, clinics, and leadership support that fits your timetable, budget, and existing systems. We avoid generic content and focus on strategies that are most likely to make a difference in your setting.

What types of schools can work with EBTD?

We are available to partner with English-medium international schools, national curriculum schools, school groups and networks, new schools building teaching capacity, schools preparing for accreditation or inspection, and organisations delivering teacher or leadership training in Bangladesh (BD).

How long does a partnership usually last?

Partnerships can range from a short series of linked training days to a full-year or multi-year programme. The duration depends on your goals, the number of staff involved, and how deeply you want to embed new approaches. During initial discussions, we will suggest options and help you choose a realistic timeline.

How do we measure the impact of an EBTD partnership?

We encourage schools to track impact using a mix of evidence: classroom observations, teacher and student feedback, assessment trends, and milestones aligned with tools such as the BRIDGE framework. We can support you to plan this from the outset so that progress is visible and can be shared with staff, governors, and parents.

How do we start a conversation about a potential partnership?

The first step is simply to get in touch. Share a brief overview of your school, your priorities, and any timelines you are working towards. We will then arrange a short exploratory call to discuss possible approaches and next steps. You can use the contact form on our Contact page to begin the process.
