Drawing data from 63 schools across Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, and Tanzania, our research investigates how teacher professional development initiatives and school climate and culture influence the extent to which educators integrate innovative teaching strategies that foster critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, and digital literacy skills among students. Data were collected from 383 teachers, being 141 from Indonesia, 130 from Kyrgyztan, and 112 from Tanzania. Quantitative analysis, conducted using SPSS and Smart PLS, was used to explore the direct impact of professional development on teacher practices and the mediating roles of collaborative planning and community engagement in this relationship. The study revealed that professional development significantly influences innovative student-centered teaching across all participating countries, underscoring the pivotal role of continuous teacher training in fostering 21st-century educational practices.
