Why Good Teaching Matters

In this module, trainees learn how good teaching practice improves lives. This module helps trainee teachers learn how to shape their pupils’ learning outcomes and behaviour through acting as role models. It considers the theory, history and background behind high-quality teaching and uses realistic scenarios and examples to encourage teachers to be the best role models possible, to positively shape their pupils’ behaviour.

 

This module covers the CCF 'Learn that...' statements:

• 1.1. Teachers have the ability to affect and improve the wellbeing, motivation and behaviour of their pupils.
• 1.2. Teachers are key role models, who can influence the attitudes, values and behaviours of their pupils.
• 1.6. High-quality teaching has a long-term positive effect on pupils’ life chances, particularly for children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
