Centre for Excellence in Teacher Training - Paradigm Shift

This white paper discusses the systemic change in the behaviors and attitudes of CETT stakeholder groups, including school administrators, teacher trainers, teachers, parents, and students. CETT’s teacher training model stressed the inclusion of stakeholders at all levels to promote the importance of reading and writing. Achievement of the program’s intended effects depended on the willingness of the institutions and individuals involved to change their behaviors. This paper highlights the lessons learned and best practices in promoting this change.
