Teaching and learning CPD - research lessons

What are research lessons?

Research lessons have been used successfully in the UK and internationally to improve teaching pedagogy and pupil progress. We use research lessons as a professional learning process which enables teachers to develop pedagogical techniques and improve an aspect of teaching and learning. Every teacher has the opportunity to work in a trio to develop a teaching technique which is designed to improve a specific aspect of learning for identified pupils. Teachers keep a record of what they learn and pass on the knowledge they have gained through a staff meeting. Research lessons have been highly successful in continually developing teachers' expertise in our approach to teaching and learning. Examples of teachers' research lessons can be found below.
