Fostering Instructional Excellence Through Collaborative Professional Development: A Dissertation By Chikezie Johnson

  Abstract This dissertation examines the role of collaborative professional development (CPD) in enhancing instructional quality and promoting a culture of continuous improvement among educators. It argues that traditional, one-off professional development models are often ineffective and that a collaborative, sustained approach is more impactful. The study explores key components of effective CPD, including professional learning communities (PLCs) , peer coaching , and lesson study . Drawing on recent literature, the dissertation synthesizes how these models facilitate the co-creation of knowledge, foster a sense of collective responsibility, and directly translate into improved teaching practices. The findings suggest that by creating structured opportunities for educators to collaborate, schools can strengthen instructional quality, increase teacher efficacy, and ultimately, improve student outcomes. 1.

Developing Student-Centered Learning Models to Strengthen Educational Quality: A Dissertation By Chikezie Johnson

  Abstract This dissertation explores the development and implementation of student-centered learning (SCL) models and strategies as a means to enhance educational quality. It argues that a shift from traditional instructor-centric pedagogies to student-centric approaches is essential for fostering 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration . The study examines the theoretical underpinnings of SCL, including principles of learner autonomy, active participation , and the teacher-as-facilitator model. It further analyzes specific SCL strategies, such as differentiated instruction, project-based learning (PBL), inquiry-based learning , and personalized learning , detailing how each contributes to improved student engagement, deeper understanding, and enhanced academic outcomes. The findings suggest that adopting SCL models can lead to significant improvements in educational quality by creating a more relevant, dynamic, and effective learning...
