BES Exemplars: Quality Teaching/Ngā Kete Raukura – Ngā Tauira: He Ako Reikura
Alton-Lee, A., and others 2012 Wellington: Ministry of Education. BES Exemplars: Quality Teaching/Ngā Kete Raukura – Ngā Tauira: He Ako Reikura
A series of BES Quality Teaching exemplars has now been published by the Ministry of Education. The exemplars demonstrate:
- the nature of highly effective teaching
- the professional learning, leadership, and educationally powerful connections with families, whānau, and communities that support such teaching.
They show real people in real schools translating research into practice and generating new evidence for you to consider. This widened focus has led to the identification of eleven dimensions of quality teaching. The exemplars incorporate tools that teachers and school leaders can use to engage with the content and consider its application to their practice. These include an adapation of the inquiry and knowledge-building tool.
