Investing in your teaching practice through the Expertise in Teaching Certificate

As teachers we’re always looking for ways to improve, not by doing more, but by becoming more intentional about what we do in the classroom, so we can make the biggest impact where it matters most. But with so many demands on our time, between the day-to-day challenges of the classroom, to lesson planning, parents’ evenings, last minute lunch duties, and all those other little things we juggle in a day, it can be difficult to pause, reflect and consider how we can make meaningful changes to our practice.

By prioritising reliability and relevance, and fostering a culture of inquiry, schools can create environments where educational research truly drives improvement.
