In this course you will discover tools to help you monitor and evaluate whether effective teaching and learning is taking place across your school, and plan further improvements to teaching and learning at both an individual and whole-school level.
What will I learn?
Under the guidance of an experienced Cambridge trainer, you will explore:
- How can individual teachers reflect on the impact of their teaching and learning?
- How can managers support them in doing this in an effective way?
- How can measuring the progress of our learners effectively help us to develop and nurture high quality teaching and learning?
- How can we evaluate the impact of teaching and learning approaches at a faculty or whole-school level?
- How far (and in what ways) can numerical data help us to do this?
- What are the benefits and challenges of seeking to evaluate impact?
- How do we apply what we've learnt to develop classroom practice in our faculties and schools?
