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.

  • 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.

Really helpful in every way. Very thoughtful and also plenty of practical off the shelf ideas.
The combination of ideas, strategies, practical examples and activities made this the most useful CPD I have completed in some time.
I really appreciated how organic the delivery was - we were able to digress appropriately and develop our ideas.
Lots of useful and engaging strategies put into action. Allowed me to solidify my understanding. Varied and resourceful session.
Really useful review of current findings in educational research and how this can be applied to the current educational climate.
