Raising Academic Standards through Outstanding Teaching and Learning
The single biggest contributory factor to a pupil’s
attainment and progress is the quality of teaching; this is even more marked
for disadvantaged and vulnerable students (double the effect size) so the
continued improvement of teaching and learning in schools has to be our number
one priority.
- With so much information available to teachers what interventions really work?
- Which strategies add the most value and cost the least?
- Which are the most accessible and how do they work, not just in theory, but in practice?
Every course by John Medlicott is highly practical and interactive. Teachers will leave with a clear set of strategies and interventions which they can adopt in their next lesson.
