Celebrate teachers’ strengths on their teaching overview page, making sure there is a balance between action steps and recognition.
Quality assure the strengths being recorded by all leaders so they learn how to write high value strengths articulating practice and its impact on pupils.
Alternatively, create strengths from a bank to achieve that consistency.
Analyse where strengths are being recorded by habit, subject, teacher type or year group.
You can analyse your teachers’ strengths through our comprehensive and insightful dashboards.
In schools, every adult matters. As the Education Endowment Foundation said in 2021, “The average impact of the deployment of teaching assistants is about an additional four months’ progress over the course of a year.”
So if we’re using a teaching and learning framework with teachers, it follows that we should be using one with Teaching Assistants too.
ProgressTeaching’s TA Teaching and Learning Framework is based tightly around the EEF’s ‘Deployment of TAs report’, 2025 and weaves in key points about TAs / additional adults from Ofsted’s inspection toolkit.
If you’d like to take a look at the framework in full, you can access it, as well as the recent webinar we ran on the theme, by clicking on the button above.
