The objective of this consultancy is to support the design and rapid-cycle evaluation of a model of hybrid (virtual and face-to-face) teacher professional development for Early Childhood Education (ECE) teachers in Fiji. The selected consultants will work closely with the World Bank and local stakeholders to develop training and coaching content; test and evaluate the content in a face-to-face format; and test and evaluate a hybrid delivery format using digital tools. The outcomes of the pilot are expected to support the design of a pipeline regional operation; the Pacific Island Countries Teacher Upgrading and Resourcing for the Early Years (PICTURE) project. The pilot is financed under the Advisory Support for the Pacific Island Region in Education (ASPIRE) program of the World Bank; with funding support from Australia through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).The pilot will be guided by the following principles:-Locally Driven Intervention: Designed around Fijian needs and context; led by local stakeholders while integrating international research and best practices. -Pacific Engagement Methodologies: Emphasizing culturally relevant approaches; such as Talanoa methods; to ensure meaningful engagement and authenticity. -Capacity Building: Strengthening the skills of local and regional organizations in intervention design and program delivery by involving local and regional experts. -Rigorous Research: Applying appropriate quantitative and qualitative methods to measure program impact. -Diverse settings: Ensuring a diverse sample by including key preschool providers (government; faith-based; community); and remote islands. -Regional Scalability: Generating lessons and evidence applicable to other Pacific Island countries; particularly for improving access in remote areas.
