In this episode we discuss how we can improve the quality of teaching across the primary school, with practical advice and insights for school leaders.

We begin by discussing the role of the curriculum in improving teaching quality, including the importance of inclusion and oracy. We focus too on the importance of planning teaching and learning – both short-term action planning and longer-term planning.

Our panel also discusses effective approaches to teacher CPD, including coaching and mentoring and we consider why a people-focused, collegiate approach to the monitoring of teaching and learning is crucial – and what this can look like in practice.

Finally, we discuss how we can hold teachers to account in positive and supporting ways and offer a few top tips.
