We awarded £2.4 million to a Strategic Fund project aiming to further our understanding of teaching quality and identify ways to improve teacher development.
Teaching improvement through data and evaluation (TIDE) launched on 13 February and will explore how teacher training, classroom techniques, and professional development impact student success.
The National Institute of Teaching (NIoT) – a school-led organisation established by four large multi-academy trusts – will take the lead in delivering this five-year project. NIoT will partner with some of the leading education researchers in the country, data experts at Oxford University’s Bennett Institute as well as experts in AI.
Most people see schools as familiar and formative institutions, that have shaped our lives and those of our children from an early age. The quality of teachers and teaching is the most important driver of educational outcomes in the education system.
