This Quality Teaching Rounds foundational workshop will prepare you to implement QTR in your school. QTR is high impact professional development that has been rigorously researched through several randomised controlled trials. Thoses studies have found that participating in QTR improves student academic achievement and the quality of teaching, as well as enhancing teacher morale and school culture.
Two teachers involved in the Building Capacity for Quality Teaching research project are required to attend this two-day workshop to prepare for participating in Quality Teaching Rounds in your school. Your school principal, or a nominated member of your leadership team, can also attend the workshop.
