IDRC and the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) are pleased to invite proposals for applied research projects that generate and mobilize evidence in support of contextualizing and scaling the impact of promising or proven innovative approaches to strengthen teacher professional development, agency, and well-being, in GPE partner countries.
While the broader domain of teacher professional development, agency, and well-being encompasses numerous significant aspects, this request for proposals focuses on two issues that can make a difference in teaching and learning. The challenges are:
Improving the quality and scope of teacher education and development.
Supporting teacher agency and well-being.
GPE and Innovation Exchange (KIX) aims to respond to these challenges by doing the following:
Generating evidence about how to scale the impact of innovative approaches that address the challenges of teacher professional development, agency, and well-being.
Strengthening the capacities of relevant stakeholders to use that knowledge and innovation.
Mobilizing the evidence developed to improve policy and practice in education systems.
Call details
KIX will allocate CA$10.5 million through this call, with individual projects receiving funding between CA$300,000 and CA$2 million. Projects can be up to 33 months in duration.
To complete an online application, select ‘Apply’. In cases where proposals involve multiple organizations, the lead organization should submit a single application on behalf of those involved.
