Unit 2: Exploring the proven pedagogies that lie at the heart of Quality First Teaching

As we explored in the last unit, Quality First Teaching is about ensuring that the initial teaching of any topic is optimised to provide every pupil in the class with a solid level of understanding.

In this unit, we will critique some of the most effective strategies that any teacher can use to achieve this outcome and look at how the strategies work in tandem with an aspirational and inspiring classroom culture. 

• Explore the classroom climate that underpins pupil progress.
• Introduce a range of pedagogical approaches proven to support pupil progress.
• Consider implications for your own practice.
