• Monitoring and tracking pupils’ progress to ensure that teaching is appropriately challenging.
• Managing teaching and learning resources through the learning platform, and giving pupils access to teaching resources outside the school day.
• Authentic learning, bringing subjects to life through real examples and experiences.
• Tailoring teaching, allowing the quickest learners to move on through things they find easy to more challenging work, and gives pupils that are struggling the opportunity to revisit material that they have found difficult;
• Communicating with parents so that they are fully involved in their children’s school work;
• Saving teachers time, through more shared resources, allowing them to focus on the real business of teaching; and
• Streamlining administration and save money for the school.
So what actually works?
