Teaching and Learning

At TKAT, we believe that good teaching enables students to make good progress every lesson, everyday and every year. Making good progress leads to good outcomes enabling our students to be successful in the next stage of their lives. 

Our teachers are committed to delivering lessons that are rooted in the most up to date research about how knowledge is acquired and skills are developed.

We use a system in lessons, across the curriculum to ensure that knowledge is revisited and retained.

We have TKAT Teaching and Learning Coaches that work together with schools and teachers to continuously improve our classroom practice. We want students to have the core skills and knowledge that will enable them to access and enjoy a broad curriculum.

Our TKAT Teaching Triangle represents an evidence informed framework for effective teaching that uses a trust wide common language. This language aligns with the DFE golden thread.

We recognise the holistic view of a school including the fundamental foundations that need to be embedded before effective teaching can take place. The red layers of the Teaching Triangle represent these foundations.

We further believe that this model enables all teachers to teach and most importantly all students to learn.
