TASC has developed tools to assist schools and teachers understand Quality Assurance processes and requirements.
Think | Discuss | Do:
Each information sheet focuses on an issue or topic that has been raised by teachers.
Points for consideration are identified, examples given, and readers invited to reflect on their professional position or experiences of the issues. [THINK]
These individual reflections can then be shared at meetings of staff or used as a focus for professional learning with a view to developing any necessary process or systems to respond to the issues. [DISCUSS]
Schools and colleges are then encouraged to action and monitor their responses. [DO]
