Learn that… and learn how to….

The ITTECF consists of sequences of statements, relating to trainees' learning. These are

• Learn that... statements and
• Learn how to ... statements

‘Learn that…’ statements have been drawn from current high-quality evidence from the UK and overseas.

These ‘Learn that…’ statements are deliberately the same across the 3 years of training from trainee to early career teacher because the full entitlement – across both initial teacher training and early career development – for new entrants to the profession is underpinned by the evidence of what makes great teaching.

A full bibliography is provided in the ITTECF with suggested reading, which can be shared with trainee teachers to support their critical engagement with research. This evidence includes high-quality reviews and syntheses, including meta-analyses and rigorous individual studies.

'Learn how to…’ statements have been sorted into two categories.

These categories define:

• an entitlement to practise key skills
• an opportunity to work with and learn from expert colleagues as they apply their knowledge and understanding of the evidence in the classroom.
