What is the Great Teaching Toolkit?
Raise the quality of teaching at your school or college with an evidence-based curriculum for teacher learning, courses to enhance specific elements of Great Teaching practice, and tools and instruments to provide feedback for professional development over time.

At the heart of the Toolkit is our Model for Great Teaching – the things teachers know, do and believe that research has shown to make the biggest difference to student learning. It can be thought of as a curriculum for teacher learning.

Aligned to the model are teacher courses and leader programmes focused on improving specific elements of Great Teaching (e.g., structuring, questioning, explaining).

Feedback tools provide insight to teachers on their practice and development, and to leaders on key characteristics of the school environment that promote learning.
Developing Great Teaching
The Toolkit includes teacher courses and lead programmes which relate directly to dimensions and elements of the Model for Great Teaching. Delivered online, our courses and programmes incorporate opportunities for collaboration with colleagues, as well as activities to plan, implement and evaluate pedagogical approaches in your context.

The foundation
All teachers should complete the Toolkit Foundation course: An evidence-based approach to great teaching. It serves as an orientation to the Toolkit and covers core science of learning concepts at the heart of the Model for Great Teaching.

For teachers:
A selection of courses enable teachers to connect the most up-to-date research evidence on learning to practical classroom approaches, and then select and adapt individual teaching strategies to hone and use in their own practice.
Each course consists of an eight-week study period, followed by an implementation cycle.
- Creating a supportive environment
- Maximising opportunity to learn
- Embedding
- Explaining
- Interacting
- Questioning
- Structuring
- Activating

For leaders:
Lead programmes cover specialist areas, each aligned to the Model for Great Teaching. Programmes provide a grounding in research evidence and then equip you to lead improvement to policy and practice in the following areas:
- Behaviour and Culture Programme
- Science of Learning Programme
- Assessment Lead Programme

Feedback at the heart of learning
The Toolkit provides feedback for teachers and leaders in areas that demonstrably enhance and promote student learning, and this feedback can be used as part of supportive coaching conversations:

Student surveys give your students a voice in teaching and learning, and give your teachers accessible and actionable feedback about classroom experiences in relation to the Model for Great Teaching. The feedback they generate can be a powerful tool for teacher learning – offering additional insight that allows teachers and leaders to personalise professional development.

Video observation tools help enhance the development journey by enabling teachers to capture their practice, reflect, and seek feedback from trusted colleagues to facilitate high-impact conversations around strengths and strategies to try in the classroom.

The School Environment and Leadership staff survey provides insight to school leaders on the school-level factors that evidence suggests are our current best bets for school leaders to attend to in order to promote students’ learning. The survey questions and feedback is based on the Model for School Environment and Leadership set out in the School Environment and Leadership: Evidence Review.
