“If we want all students to learn more, we need to improve the quality of classroom interactions. If we want better classroom interactions, we need to build teacher expertise.”

A guided path to Great Teaching
The Great Teaching Toolkit gives every teacher a structured, personalised pathway to deepen teaching expertise. Development Cycles provide a dedicated space to set goals, build pedagogical understanding, strengthen teaching skills, and embed lasting habits, all aligned to the Elements of Great Teaching.
Turn insight into action with 360° feedback
Set meaningful goals by triangulating insight from a suite of feedback tools – learner surveys, self-reflection survey and peer feedback survey, all providing feedback against dimensions and elements of the Model for Great Teaching. Highlight gaps and agreement between perceptions, to set specific goals and next steps.
See. Reflect. Grow
Video feedback makes great teaching visible, and scalable. Give every teacher the chance to see their own practice clearly, reflect with purpose, and grow within a consistent, evidence-based framework. Build a powerful resource bank of real, relatable examples of great teaching in your context.
Get better, together
Great Teaching happens every day in every school. Leverage the expertise in your school with collaboration that turns shared experience into collective expertise. Great Teaching Teams give teachers the space, structure and support to reflect, challenge and improve – together. Because when teachers grow as a team, the whole school moves forward.
Policies change, but great teaching is timeless.

Turn professional learning into better teaching
Identify barriers to learning. Develop expertise in high-quality adaptive teaching. Build a culture of sustained improvement.
Use student voice, peer feedback and self-reflection to understand what is working well, where learners may be experiencing barriers, and where professional learning could make the greatest difference.
- Gather insight from students, colleagues and teachers themselves.
- Identify focused areas for development rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
- Set a clear goal aligned to the Model for Great Teaching.
The result: personalised professional learning focused on the needs of teachers and learners.
Once a goal has been identified, teachers build the knowledge, skills and professional judgement needed to strengthen high-quality, adaptive teaching.
- Access evidence-informed courses, videos and carefully curated resources.
- Explore practical guidance connected directly to the chosen goal.
- Understand what effective practice looks like, why it matters and how it can be adapted.
The result: evidence becomes relevant, manageable and usable in different classrooms and contexts.
Development Cycles help teachers move beyond theory by breaking improvement into manageable, classroom-focused steps.
- Select a practical, evidence-informed teaching technique.
- Follow step-by-step guidance for planning, implementation and reflection.
- Adapt strategies to meet the needs of different learners while maintaining consistently high expectations.
The result: professional learning translates into responsive, high-quality classroom practice.
Deliberate practice, collaboration, reflection and feedback help teachers refine new approaches until they become part of everyday teaching.
- Reflect on what is changing and what needs further attention.
- Collaborate with colleagues and build collective expertise.
- Revisit feedback over time to monitor changes in learner experience and classroom practice.
The result: sustained improvement in teaching, with a clearer line of sight to better student outcomes.
