The Great Teaching Toolkit, the online platform from Evidence Based Education, offers access for teachers to an evidence-based curriculum, courses to enhance specific elements of teaching practice, and tools to provide feedback to support their professional development over time.
Currently around 12,000 teachers have access to the Great Teaching Toolkit and can be guided through “development cycles”, identifying an area of improvement, building their understanding, and developing an implementation plan.
Under the new partnership, teachers who submit a portfolio based on the development cycles of the Great Teaching Toolkit can achieve the “Development of Teaching Practice” Award on the Chartered Teacher Pathway run by the Chartered College of Teaching, the professional body for teachers.
Jonny Goggs, head of partnerships at the Chartered College, said: "The work of EBE, including the Great Teaching Toolkit, is widely cited and respected across the profession, and we recognised an exciting opportunity to work together more closely to support the development of teaching practice, and offer a route to recognition for those engaging with their high-quality programmes and resources."
Jamie Scott, director of partnerships at EBE, added: “We’re delighted that teachers can gain recognition for the effort they put in to exploring a specific element of great teaching, and in planning, implementing and evaluating changes to their practice.”
Meanwhile, the Chartered College has launched a new online course to support school leaders with the “knowledge, skills and confidence to lead inclusive schools and to increase equity in education”.
“Leading Inclusive Schools” is funded by the charity of Sir Richard Whittington, part of the Mercers’ Charitable Foundation. It has been developed with a group of researchers, teachers and school leaders with lived experience and expertise, who have written, created and reviewed content. It contains six online modules.
