Personalized coaching for teachers has been proposed as a way of raising teacher quality and child achievement. The authors designed a coaching program that focused on one aspect of teacher quality—teacher-child interactions—that researchers in education and psychology have argued is critical for child development and learning. The coaching program was implemented in Ecuador, with 100 1st grade teachers randomly assigned to treatment and 100 to control. Coaching improved the quality of teacher-child interactions but reduced child achievement. These results underline the importance of evaluating new forms of professional development for teachers, even those that follow best practice, before these interventions are taken to scale. 2022-02-10T15:10:09Z 2022-02-10T15:10:09Z 2022-02 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/859321644248745680/When-Promising-Interventions-Fail-Personalized-Coaching-for-Teachers-in-a-Middle-Income-Country http://hdl.handle.net/10986/36966 English Policy Research Working Paper;No. 9926 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Latin America & Caribbean Ecuador
