Setting The Standard is a holistic online professional development programme that ensures all teachers across a school deliver the same standard of high quality education.

By the End of This Training, You Will:

Master four of the highest-impact teaching strategies
Learn how and when to use worked examples, graphic organisers, the jigsaw method, and retrieval practice; all backed by strong research and high effect sizes.

Understand why these strategies work 
Building on session 2, you will explore the cognitive science behind each approach, including how they manage cognitive load, promote active engagement, and strengthen long-term memory.

Apply strategies confidently within the Gradual Release model
Discover where each technique fits within “I do, We do, You do” — ensuring you use them at the right time for maximum impact.

Increase student engagement and depth of thinking 
Move beyond surface-level activity and learn how to create genuine cognitive engagement that leads to deeper understanding and transferable knowledge.

Use assessment as a powerful learning tool
Harness the test effect not just to measure learning, but to actively strengthen memory and improve long-term learning outcomes.
