To gain an accurate picture of how much learning is actually taking place by the students requires in depth inquiry, not a casual lesson observation. Moreover we examine student workbooks and have discussions with learners to determine whether what they are seeing is indicative of everyday practice or a special performance put on for show. Whilst many teachers are able to access the tools they need to succeed under the current system, consistent high quality teaching is much more likely to come about through a system of regular formal external feedback and accountability. Furthermore, it provides the teachers with the necessary support and a more comprehensive toolkit to help them benchmark against standards of excellence and succeed.
