School levelSubjectMain classroom challenge

Professional goalOne or two sentences. For example: help Grade 8 students retain key science vocabulary across a unit.What would improvement look like?Describe something you could observe or measure, not only a feeling.

Academy module to focus on

Section B: Research understanding

In your own words, summarise what the research says and how far it fits your context. Separate what is supported from what is not established.

Research and evidence notes

What the research suggestsStrength of the evidenceIs this a well-replicated finding, a promising one, or mainly theory?What is not establishedClaims the evidence does not support, or questions it leaves open.Suitability for your contextAssumptions you are makingFor example, about prior knowledge, time or how students will respond.

Section C: Teaching plan

Plan one lesson that applies the strategy. You can draft the teaching phases from the Teacher Studio template, then edit them.

Section D: Implementation record

After teaching, record what actually happened. Describe students as a group: do not write student names here.

Section E: Reflection

Reflect on the evidence, not only on how the lesson felt. Consider other explanations for what you saw.

What appeared to work?What did not work?What evidence supports this?What else might explain the result?For example: a different test, extra revision, absences, or the time of year.What will I change?How will I measure the next attempt?

Section F: Next cycle

Decide what to keep, adjust, stop or try next. Give each action a time and the evidence you will look at.
