From Good to Outstanding: Pedagogical Excellence

Outstanding is a contested term, viewed through the various lenses of Ofsted, teachers, students and researchers. The UK has a world-acknowledged tradition of educational research, often leading global education. But much of it rarely filters down into actual teaching and can be fashionable, political and contradictory. This workshop will engage with the evidence-base of ‘what works’ to learn what the ‘literature’ says is outstanding and participants will reflect on the implications this will have for their own classroom practice, and make targets for future action.
