ExploreQuality First Teaching Training
The best support any pupil can have is excellent everyday teaching. Quality first teaching, high-quality, inclusive teaching for every pupil, is the foundation of good outcomes and the first response to any need. This training helps your staff strengthen the core teaching that benefits every child in the room.
Below, we explain what our quality first teaching training involves, and how it helps you raise the quality of teaching for every pupil.
What Is Quality First Teaching Training?
It’s practical training that helps teachers strengthen the core practices of high-quality, inclusive teaching. We cover explanation and modelling, questioning, checking for understanding, scaffolding, and the everyday practices that help every pupil learn, including those with SEND.
We ground it in the evidence on effective teaching and focus on the high-impact practices that make the biggest difference, tailored to your phase and priorities.
Who Is This Training For?
It’s designed for all education settings: maintained schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts, Alternative Provisions, and SEND Units/Hubs. It suits whole-school INSET, subject teams, and early career teachers. Trusts often run it across schools for a shared teaching approach.
Many schools ask for it to raise the quality of everyday teaching, build consistency, or strengthen the first layer of SEND support.
