Forum on Leveraging Emerging Technologies to Enable Teacher Professional Development at Scale (TPD@Scale)

On 24 March, global education stakeholders will convene at the Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) and online for a major event on teacher professional development at scale (TPD@Scale), exploring how emerging technologies can better support teachers’ learning and practice.

The event is a collaborative effort between the Global Institute for Emerging Technologies Equity Team at The Education University of Hong Kong, UNESCO Institute for Information Technologies in Education (UNESCO IITE), SEAMEO Secretariat, Korea Education and Research Information Service (KERIS) and Empowering Teachers Initiative: TPD@Scale (ETI), with support from the International Development Research Centre and UNESCO Chairs Programme.

This forum will bring together international education leaders, policymakers, and experts to investigate how emerging technologies can transform teacher professional development at scale across the globe.

The forum will feature distinguished guests from UNESCO and the SEAMEO Secretariat, TPD@Scale experts at The Open University and SUMMA, and insightful case studies from Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

The event will culminate in a High-Level Policy Panel Discussion and reflections with key stakeholders from the Foundation for Information Technology Education and Development and KERIS.
