Children living in areas affected by violent conflict and disasters are especially at risk of being denied their right to learn. Efforts to provide education in these contexts are termed "Education in Emergencies." Teachers in Education in Emergencies may benefit from teacher professional development; however, there is a lack of evidence-based teacher professional development to support high-quality Education in Emergencies. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive case study was to describe the academic backgrounds, teacher training experiences, and teaching practice in an area of South Kordofan, Sudan. Framed within the growing body of research on Education in Emergencies and using the lens of adult learning theory, the goal was to add to the understanding of what teacher training is most effective in improving education quality in Education in Emergency contexts. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with 12 primary school teachers working in government schools affected by an influx of refugees and internally displaced persons due to violent conflict. Interview transcripts were coded and analyzed to extract themes. Teachers described professional development and teaching practice within unique contextual factors. The training was varied and mostly provided by nongovernmental organizations. Some teachers had challenges applying professional development to teaching practice, but there was evidence that trainers provided learning experiences that positively influenced teaching practice. However, methods must be adapted to be adequate for varied contexts, and program designers must be mindful of the other contextual factors influencing teaching practice. Nongovernmental organizations and government entities should increase collaboration to meet the needs of students and find consistent ways to monitor and support teachers' growth and the quality of their practice.
