Abstract

The study examined the impact of teacher training programmes on student learning outcomes, focusing on the role of educational leadership in enhancing effective teacher preparation and positive student learning outcomes. Educational leaders such as principals and administrators shape the effectiveness of these programmes by aligning them with students’ needs, promoting professional development and fostering a collaborative learning environment. Effective teacher training programmes emphasize both content knowledge and pedagogical skills, aiming to improve classroom practices and student engagement. In response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic which has impacted student performance and deepened inequalities, the study explored how teacher training programmes have not only adapted to the digital learning environment to keep up with the changing learning environments but also encouraged the training of teachers to fully deliver to the students to improve their learning outcomes. The study was conducted in Gaborone, Botswana.The research employed a mixed methods research approach, using qualitative and quantitative methodologies within a pragmatic paradigm. It included secondary school teachers and students from one private school and one public school. Data collection involved the use of academic records, questionnaires, semi- structured interview guides and classroom observations. A simple random sampling technique ensured fairness for the quantitative data while purposeful sampling technique was used for the qualitative strand. The triangulation of data collection tools strengthened data validity enhancing the study’s credibility for educational policy and practice. The study aimed to provide practical recommendations for improving teacher preparation and enhancing educational quality in teacher preparation and student learning outcomes.
