Further Reading & Work That Has Shaped This Course

This course explores practical, evidence-informed strategies to stretch and challenge all students within everyday classroom practice. Moving beyond one-off “challenge tasks,” it focuses on embedding high expectations and cognitive demand into every lesson.Drawing on research and expert practice, the course examines how teachers can “teach to the top” by combining strong teacher mindset, consistent classroom routines, and carefully planned opportunities for deeper thinking. Participants will explore how challenge is not about giving harder work to a few, but about ensuring all students engage with ambitious content and are supported to think hard.Key areas include:<ul><li>Building a culture of high expectations and academic challenge</li><li>Using questioning to deepen thinking and uncover misconceptions</li><li>Designing lessons with interleaving, modelling, and metacognition</li><li>Providing effective live feedback and adaptive challenge</li><li>Avoiding common pitfalls such as task differentiation and fixed expectations</li></ul>The course emphasises practical, adaptable strategies that can be implemented across subjects and phases. Teachers will be encouraged to reflect on their current practice and consider how stretch and challenge can be embedded systematically into their curriculum and teaching routines.Ultimately, this course supports teachers to create classrooms where all students are expected , and supported ,to think deeply, achieve highly, and go beyond the basics.📅 Tuesday 19.05.26 ⏰ 3:30–4:30 PMPrice is inclusive of VAT.Please note that for webinars and online events, all sales are final and refunds will only be issued in the event that the session is cancelled by the provider.
