We know
what works, from the Sutton Trust and EEF toolkits, EPPI studies, John Hattie,
Michael Fullan and Andy Hargreaves, and importantly we know what doesn’t work!
We must remember that teaching and learning is a team game and to develop world class learning critically depends on sharing, networking and collaboration. We must stop chasing accountability and focus instead on impact and outcomes. We must remember that all colleagues, and not just teachers, are part of the team. We must stop trying to do everything and systematically focus on the things that matter. We must learn that courses and events are wonderful opportunities to share and celebrate, but do not improve practice. Feedback, reflection and coaching over a sustained and focused approach do!
