Teacher Training and Impact

Through Future Students and Austrade, Prashan has run dozens of teacher-training workshops based on his research in learning and teaching in the fields of introductory commerce units and interdisciplinary commerce capstone units. Prashan has trained 1,000+ teachers face-to-face through research-informed teacher-training workshops across Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan, The Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, and the United Kingdom (2015-2025).

“Thanks again for taking teaching to a whole new level of education and professionalism… A wealth of specific curriculum design related information, and a compelling presenter…  was relevant to their day-to-day activities.” – Bangladesh Business Development Manager, Austrade 

During COVID-19, as part of Austrade’s Australian Virtual Masterclass Series, Prashan conducted research-informed training for Central Board of Secondary Education school principals in India and the UAE which received over 10,000 registrations. 

Prashan was also an integral part of the China Scholarship Council-sponsored Advanced Professional Development Program in 2015 and 2016, where he ran 7 teaching workshops for 24 visiting academics. This resulted in Wuhan University adopting his research-informed pedagogy in their MBA microeconomics course.
