Teaching

Teach challenging, well-organised lessons and sequences of lessons across the age and ability range they teach in which they:

(a)  use an appropriate range of teaching strategies and resources, including e-learning, which meet learners' needs and take practical account of diversity and promote equality and inclusion

(b)  build on the prior knowledge and attainment of those they teach in order that learners meet learning objectives and make sustained progress

(c)  develop concepts and processes which enable learners to apply new knowledge, understanding and skills

(d)  adapt their language to suit the learners they teach, introducing new ideas and concepts clearly, and using explanations, questions, discussions and plenaries effectively

(e)  manage the learning of individuals, groups and whole classes effectively, modifying their teaching appropriately to suit the stage of the lesson and the needs of the learners. Read C29 NQT guidance
