“Good teaching helps students to achieve well in most subjects. Leaders’ rigorous checking on the quality of teaching shows that this is typically the case. n Senior leaders and leaders in charge of subjects make accurate judgments of the quality of teaching based on evaluations of students’ progress over time, from scrutiny of their work and from observations of teaching. This enables support for those teachers that need it to be accurately identified and put in place swiftly. n Teachers usually get the best out of their students, giving them a good variety of tasks that stretch and challenge them and capture their interest. As a result, students work with enthusiasm, enjoyment and a desire to make fast progress”.
