About this event

Following on from Rob Coe's publication of What makes great teaching?, during this session, colleagues will have the opportunity to discuss and develop their understanding of what makes for effective teaching and learning in the classroom. We will revisit aspects of quality first teaching, assessment for learning and review why they are central to the learning process.

Colleagues will also have an opportunity to review the Great Teaching Toolkit (published 2020) and Rosenshine's Principles of Instruction when considering a range of teaching, learning and assessment strategies that can be used day - to - day to enhance pupils learning and help to identify their next steps. The session will support colleagues’ self- evaluation of current practice and help to identify areas of strength and possible areas for further development.

This session is further supported by the optional session - How to improve your questioning?
