Addressing an audience of teachers in Manchester, Education Secretary Justine Greening said:

It is an honour to launch the Institute for Teaching and see first-hand how thousands of teachers will benefit from these new training opportunities. We want to ensure every child can reach their potential, wherever they are growing up and great teachers are at the heart of this.

I want high-quality professional development to be a fundamental part of a teacher바카라 사이트™s career and these new programmes 바카라 사이트“ backed by government funding 바카라 사이트“ will give them the skills, confidence and knowledge they need to provide a world class education for all children.

The Institute for Teaching has received government funding as part of the Β£75 million Teaching and Leadership Innovation Fund.

Having an expert teacher in every classroom is the best way to make sure that every pupil, regardless of their background, gets a great education. But teaching is complex 바카라 사이트“ becoming an expert isn바카라 사이트™t easy. To improve teaching, we have to improve the training teachers get because most of what바카라 사이트™s out there isn바카라 사이트™t helping them to get better. Working with our partners, we바카라 사이트™re trying to change that.
