Summary: | Undertaken by the ASER Center of Pratham, this study explores a set of interrelated factors that influence
how teachers teach. Designed as a series of data collection exercises that were conducted between
July 2013 and December 2014, the study covered 400 schools and tracked more than 2,200 teachers
during visits to each school. The study uses teacher surveys and classroom and school observations
methods. It evaluates teachers’ subject-matter knowledge, ability to communicate, and ability to learn
from children’s work. The findings generated by the study provide significant inputs and suggestions for
designing future teacher training and teacher professional development programs.
