Edssential article from @headguruteacher:
At the heart of the discourse about effective schooling is the well-evidenced view that teacher quality plays a massive role in determining student outcomes. John Hattie, Dylan Wiliam, Michael Wilshaw, Michael Gove…they’d all agree on this. We’d all agree on it. As a Headteacher it is one of my core responsibilities, no…it is THE key responsibility, to ensure that teacher quality and the quality of teaching are as good as they can possibly be. I try hard to create the conditions for great teachers to grow and to thrive...but how do I know how good they are and what impact they are having?
