Our Pedagogy Toolkit

Over the course of last year we began structuring our whole T&L drive towards Rosenshine’s Effective Principles of Instruction. We reworked our own teaching and learning policy in light of these principles. As part of our lesson visit programme we captured some truly brilliant practice over the course of the year, which exemplify the principles […]

Visualisers

In the past few months, it’s great to see more and more colleagues using visualiers in their day-to-day practice. The benefits of using a visualiser are huge, summed up nicely by @teachertoolkit who shares: ‘Using a visualiser can transform subject-knowledge into real, evident understanding, using examples from (students/work in) the classroom.
