The Model for Great Teaching offers a curriculum for teachers’ professional learning.

It provides a common professional language and a shared structure for enabling Great Teaching.

"Having words for important concepts enables community members to talk about them, think together and agree on their meaning, interrogate them for deeper understanding and gain collective clarity around related action and impact."

Language for learning leadership

Flashcards eBook by @KateJones_teach ✍️

"The benefits of retrieval practice for long-term learning are among the most secure findings in educational psychology (Brown, Roediger, & McDaniel, 2014) and flashcards are a student friendly method of providing regular retrieval practice opportunities for learners."

Learn how to use flashcards to boost long-term learning. This practical guide explores why, when, and how to use flashcards to support retrieval practice

Now you can find ALL our eBooks in one place on our website here https://t.co/409nN9YKdM

How do you deliver personalised professional learning at scale?

Many schools want CPD that genuinely responds to individual teachers’ needs, while still being coherent, sustainable, and evidence-informed across the whole organisation.

We’re excited to be delivering Science of Learning for Classroom Excellence to 240 primary schools across Northern Ireland, as part of an online professional learning programme launched by the Department of Education.

This project is a great example of something we care deeply about: showing that large-scale professional learning can be bespoke, flexible and genuinely useful for teachers as individuals – not generic or one-size-fits-all.

If you would like to speak with us about a bespoke project for your school or organisation, we’d love to hear from you!

Ditching Differentiation?

"It’s fair to say that the term ‘differentiation’ has had its day in education (or at least in England). At one point, it was considered to be an integral element of lesson planning, design and delivery to ensure all learners were involved and could succeed.

Adaptive teaching has gained interest and attention within the profession, but with some teachers understandably asking: is this the new differentiation? Is adaptive teaching simply a new label for an old approach?"

"Where should I focus my professional development to optimise student learning?”

The Great Teaching Toolkit helps to answer this question. Receive feedback on the classroom environment in each dimension of the Model for Great Teaching.

Whole-class feedback: when and why to use this technique?

"Whole-class feedback has been very well received, especially across schools in England in the last decade. It’s no surprise that teachers have embraced this approach to feedback.

It is a time-efficient and workload-friendly method of providing feedback to multiple learners, either in groups or as a whole class.

The teacher reviews a class set of work, such as written tasks, assessments or practice exercises, and provides actionable feedback to everyone rather than writing individual comments on every piece."

Do you use video as a professional learning tool?

"Videos of classroom practice offer a few practical advantages as a professional learning tool. Namely, it’s easy to pause, rewind, and revisit as many times as you’d like!

Say you’re watching videos of classroom practice to see some more examples of cold calling. Maybe you thought you noticed the teacher make a particular gesture or signal as they ask a question.

Rewind a take a closer look! Then go back again, paying particular attention to how the students react. Through video, it becomes so much easier to consider much more than we would with a live, in-person observation."

School improvement is complex. Professional learning shouldn’t add to that complexity, it should bring clarity.

But too often, even the most well-intentioned professional learning can leave teachers asking:

“Where do I even start?”
“How will I know it’s working?”
“What’s the best focus for me?”

That uncertainty costs time and impact.

That's why we made a major update to the Great Teaching Toolkit learning platform to include:

🗣️ 360° feedback: student, self-reflection and peer surveys, all providing feedback aligned to the Model for Great Teaching

✍️ Recommended techniques based on your chosen goal.

🏫 Step-by-step guides to implementation.

📝 Guides for adapting techniques to develop adaptive expertise.

Feedback can be one of the most powerful ways to improve goal-directed performance.

Identify personalised professional learning goals to deepen expertise in targeted areas by using self-reflection, student and peer feedback tools.

👤 Self-reflection: reflect on your practice using surveys focused on specific Dimensions and Elements of the Model for Great Teaching.

👥 Peer feedback: invite a trusted colleague, coach or line manager to provide feedback on specific Dimensions and Elements. Compare their insights with your ow reflections.

🏫 Student surveys: generate insights across the Dimensions and Elements of the Model for Great Teaching by giving every student in your class a voice.

By bringing these perspectives together, teachers can set personalised goals and turn insight into action with 360° feedback, all within a supportive, evidence-informed Toolkit.

Teachers make many decisions every day and the more clarity they have about their practice, the more those decisions can truly flourish.

When feedback brings together student voice, peer insight and self-reflection, it creates a clearer picture of strengths and next steps than any one source alone.

The Great Teaching Toolkit’s 360° Feedback Tools make that clarity possible, helping teachers direct their energy to the areas that matter most for student learning.

Retrieval and spaced practice are two study strategies that must be combined

"Retrieval and spaced practice should therefore be seen as two sides of the same coin. Teachers and students need to know, understand and implement both strategies.

When combined, they create powerful routines for lasting learning and effective exam preparation.

By combining retrieval and spacing, teachers and students can make learning stick for the long term while reducing stress and avoiding last-minute cramming."

Which area of great teaching are you focusing on for the remaining of the term?

[Evidence Based Education @EvidenceInEdu]

Great teaching is full of decisions. Most of them are invisible;

leaders see outcomes and teachers experience moments.

However, the thinking that connects the two is rarely made explicit and that makes professional learning harder than it needs to be.

This is why we’ve expanded the Great Teaching Toolkit with a collection of classroom technique videos designed to make professional judgement visible.

Here’s a short clip of Adam Kohlbeck FCCT who you’ll meet in the videos, explaining what this looks like in practice.

What if every teacher could pinpoint exactly where to focus their professional growth and see clear evidence of the impact it has on students?

That’s what the Great Teaching Toolkit is built to do.

It brings together everything teachers and leaders need for high-impact professional learning, all in one place:

✅ Personalised pathways that guide teachers step by step through development goals

✅ 360° feedback from students, peers and self-reflection tools to inform next steps

✅ Evidence-informed courses and resources built around the Model for Great Teaching

✅ Clear insight into what’s working, so schools can see improvement, not just activity

The GTT isn’t another CPD platform.

It’s a framework for genuine professional growth, helping teachers focus on what really moves the needle for learning.

We know professional development time is tight - and getting tighter.

That's why we've built Development Cycles into the Great Teaching Toolkit.

It's a smart, focused pathway that helps teachers move from insight to action!

Here's how it works:

📝 Set a goal: Use our 360° feedback tools to identify an area of focus. Then create a goal, or choose from a curated list of goals aligned to the Elements of Great Teaching.

📔 Explore what works: Access techniques, video examples and resources - tailored to your goal and grounded in research.

🏫 Develop real expertise: Use step-by-step guidance to implement and adapt techniques authentically to your classroom. Reflect, record your growth, and share progress with colleagues.

No more wasted time. Just the clarity, confidence and support you need.

Below is a video by Jamie Scott explaining how you can use it.
