Background of the Study
Teachers’ professional development is fundamental to improving classroom performance and enhancing student learning outcomes. In Oredo Local Government Area, Edo State, regular training and skill enhancement programs for teachers have been linked to improved instructional quality and innovative teaching methods (Onyekachi, 2023). Professional development equips educators with the latest pedagogical strategies, enabling them to address diverse learning needs and incorporate technology into the classroom (Eze, 2024). However, challenges such as inadequate training programs, limited resources, and time constraints may hinder the effectiveness of these initiatives (Iwu, 2025). This study examines the impact of teachers’ professional development on classroom performance by assessing changes in teaching practices, student engagement, and academic achievement. The findings aim to provide recommendations for enhancing professional development programs and ultimately improving the overall quality of education in the region.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the acknowledged importance of professional development, many teachers in Oredo experience insufficient training opportunities, which negatively affect classroom performance. Inadequate professional development contributes to outdated teaching practices, limited student engagement, and suboptimal academic results (Onyekachi, 2023). The lack of consistent and comprehensive training poses a significant challenge for educational improvement in the area. This study seeks to identify the specific barriers in current professional development programs and assess their impact on classroom performance, thereby highlighting the need for effective training interventions.

The findings will provide valuable insights for educational administrators and policymakers to improve teacher training programs, thereby enhancing instructional quality and student achievement. The research ultimately contributes to more effective teaching strategies and better learning outcomes in the region.
