Training and Development for Teacher Competency Enhancement: A Case of Community School Teachers

Abstract

This study aims to examine the level of competency related to training and development with new structures and roles in the community school teachers. Enhancing competency is a priority in training and development as it helps teachers provide high-quality teaching and learning experiences. In this study, a qualitative multiple database document analysis approach was employed. Questions about training and development for competency enhancement were posed in an attempt to find answers from the associated literature review of community school teachers. Primarily in settings with limited resources, community schools are essential for educating large numbers of students. Yet, the quality of the teachers at these institutions has a major issue in their efficacy. Human resource development in educational organizations should outline the goals and outcomes of training and development in order to give community school teachers more competency. In order to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and to promote lifelong learning opportunities for all students, it is crucial to improve the competency of community school teachers through training and development. The community, as a whole benefits, when teachers are empowered via training and development programs. Educational officials should prioritize providing financial aid and encouragement for training and development programs, as community school instructors are essential to achieving educational equity. Enhancing the competency of community school teachers through training and development is not just a moral obligation but also a strategic investment in the future of entire communities.
