1. Teachers need a curriculum and schemes of work to guide their lessons and ensure coverage of essential content. 2. Effective teaching strategies include using starters, testing, and retrieval practice to reinforce learning. Teachers should also incorporate extended writing assignments and focus on teaching challenging concepts rather than superficial "pants" work. 3. To achieve excellence, teachers must consider the holistic development of students and ensure their lessons, contacts, experiences and self-image support full growth beyond just academic achievement. Regularly revisiting foundational knowledge is also important.
