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

How do you ensure learners engage with feedback?

"Ensuring students engage with feedback is vital. A lack of feedback engagement can prevent learners from making progress and can potentially lead to repeated mistakes.

If students don’t act on the feedback they receive, the time teachers spend reviewing work and providing thoughtful, relevant comments is wasted."

The Independent Inquiry into White Working Class Educational Outcomes has published its final report.

White British pupils on free school meals are half as likely to pass English and Maths GCSE as their peers. The report finds this gap can't be closed by schools alone, but names high-quality teaching as the biggest lever they can pull.

Our Director of R&D, Prof. Rob Coe, served on the Panel.

Teachers want feedback that supports growth, not just ticks boxes, the kind that fuels confidence and steady progress.

When feedback is specific, balanced and actionable, it becomes a powerful guide that strengthens both expertise and motivation.

That’s exactly what the 360° tools were designed for: supportive insight that helps teachers feel seen, understood and equipped to take their next step.

"Peer assessment involves students giving feedback to one another.

This may be verbal, written as comments or codes, or by checking and scoring. Feedback can be shared individually, in pairs or in groups.

While peer assessment can be valuable, it is not without challenges. Teachers need to be mindful of the variables that influence its effectiveness.

Since students are novices at giving feedback, they will need explicit modelling and ongoing guidance."

Last week we attended the very first @EducationFest in Spain.

We are pleased we contributed to a fantastic programme of professional learning and thought-provoking discussion around teaching and learning.

Faye Morris delivered a session on 'Rethinking Motivation' exploring motivation as a central part of self-regulated learning.

CJ Rauch delivered a workshop on 'Making Learning "Stick": Embedding Knowledge for Our Students and Ourselves' exploring strategies teachers can employ to embed knowledge.

A huge thank you to the organisers and everyone who joined the sessions. It was lovely to connect with so many educators committed to improving student outcomes through evidence-informed practice.

Today marks the 6-year anniversary of the publication of the Great Teaching Toolkit: Evidence Review 🎊

6 years ago, we set out to answer one key question:

👉 Where should teachers invest their limited time and energy to make the biggest impact on student learning?

The answers we found gave us the Model for Great Teaching: a clear, evidence-based curriculum for professional learning and expertise.

And from that Model, the Great Teaching Toolkit platform was born, using the science of learning to deliver accessible tools that help teachers reflect, grow, and see their impact.

Since 2020, the Evidence Review has reached educators in schools, groups and systems around the world and it's been translated into 6 languages.

In just 6 years, it has helped thousands of educators around the world know that:

✔️ Every teacher, no matter their experience, can keep getting better.
✔️ Great teaching is complex, but it's clear what matters most.
✔️ Teacher expertise matters, and it's a gift that keeps on giving.

By marking 6 years of the Evidence Review, we celebrate every single educator who has read it, shared it, used it and been inspired by it.

Thank you for coming on the journey with us!

Last year we celebrated by inviting educators to share how the Evidence Review shaped their practice. You can watch all videos here https://t.co/MnLM7abwqm

"The first time I encountered the concept of ‘poor proxies’ was during a presentation by @ProfCoe in 2016 at the Festival of Education at Wellington College.

This was a significant moment in my professional development.

It challenged assumptions I had previously accepted, encouraged me to reflect on my classroom practice, and inspired me to learn more about how learning actually happens."

"Exit tickets are often seen as a standard end-of-lesson routine, but are they actually effective?

Students respond to a prompt or question on paper, via a digital device or a mini whiteboard. The responses from students provide the teacher with immediate insight into what they’ve grasped and what requires further support.

They provide a snapshot of performance that informs the next instructional steps. They may include a range of questions that can be answered in a short amount of time, or they can be used to answer one key question with an extended answer."

4 in 10 students feel their teacher knows when something is upsetting them.

A sense of belonging underpins almost every aspect of wellbeing and learning. It’s not a school-specific construct; it’s part of being human.

We all need to feel connected to people, to places, to something bigger than ourselves.

Based on 120,000 learner surveys completed on the Great Teaching Toolkit platform, only around four in ten students feel their teacher knows when something is upsetting them. These findings should give every leader pause for thought.

@ProfKime explains why belonging matters and isn't a "nice-to have" in this blog
