Effectiveness of two e-learning modalities for school leader professional development on effective school leadership in Rwanda: Final report

In this report, we present an evaluation of a Continuous Professional Development (CPD) training programme for school leaders, delivered in an e-learning modality. Randomization into one of the two modalities took place at the sector level. In the first modality (the trainer-led group) trainees are guided by a trainer from the University of Rwanda - College of Education. In the other modality (the peer-led group) trainees were guided through different activities by their peers, with only occasional involvement of a trainer. The Diploma Programme on Effective School Leadership consists of four modules: (1) Overview of school leadership and working with parents and the wider community; (2) Creating strategic direction for the school; (3) Managing the school as an organisation; and (4) Leading learning & leading teaching.
