Improving Practice Series

The ideas for Improving Practice contained in this series are underpinned by high quality research from TLRP. Each suggestion has been tried and tested with experience practitioners and has been found to improve learning outcomes - particularly if the underlying principles about Teaching and Learning have been understood. The key then, remains the exercise of professional judgement, knowledge and skill. We hope that the Improving Practice series will encourage and support teachers in exploring new ways of enhancing learning experiences and improving educational outcomes of all sorts.
