Abstract: To study how local education departments supported teachers in implementing and adapting creative learning (CL) in their classrooms, research was conducted by a team from the Social Economy Research and Studies Laboratory at the University of São Paulo (LEPES), supported by the Education Development Center (EDC) as Tech & Play's research lead. The study also examined contextual factors shaping implementation at both department and classroom levels. This brief shares insights from that research to inform future programs seeking to strengthen teacher instruction by identifying effective strategies, essential supports, and potential challenges in scaling student-centered pedagogies.
