The Sutton Trust Report What makes great teaching? What works Content knowledge. Behaviour/classroom management. Classroom climate/expectations. Quality of instruction. Wider professional elements: collegiality, development, relationships. What doesn’t work Using praise lavishly. Allowing learners to discover key ideas for themselves. Grouping learners by ability. Encouraging re-reading and highlighting to memorise key ideas. Presenting information to learners in their preferred learning style. Ensuring learners are always active, rather than listening passively, when you want them to remember something. Addressing low confidence and aspirations before teaching content. Source:
