Improving Teaching and Learning in Schools

Abstract

Promoting the learning and achievement of pupils is a main aim of school education. Teaching is the main way of achieving this. Teaching and learning are what ultimately make a difference in the mind of the learner, and thus affect knowledge, skills, attitudes and the capacity of young people to contribute to contemporary societies. This TLRP Commentary has two main purposes. It provides highlights to date from each project in the schools’ portfolio. In addition, it looks across all TLRP projects to present ten ‘Evidence-informed Principles of Teaching and Learning’. Producing them has involved reviewing what individual projects have found out and what the Programme as a whole has found.
