In order to meet the diversity of learners’ needs, teachers develop a repertoire of teaching skills, techniques and approaches suited to the age and ability of the learners they teach. Teachers know how learners acquire knowledge, understanding and skills, and they take account of this in order to inform and modify their teaching. Teachers have a clear understanding of the concepts and processes that they introduce, and they help learners to transfer and apply knowledge and skills.

Teachers know how to personalise learning, and they gauge accurately what can be achieved during the lesson. They time and pace lessons well, and manage transitions from one stage of the lesson to the next efficiently. They use information technology including e-learning to support teaching and learning, drawing on the relevant national strategy, and they comply with national testing and examination arrangements.

Footnote: The term e-learning can be defined as a mixture of different learning methods delivered to the learner through information technology in ways that engage and educate.
