Applied Teaching Practice Resources

Welcome to the Applied Teaching Practice Reading Library

This page brings together supporting materials to deepen your understanding of the Teachers’ Standards and the themes you’ll explore during training.

  • LearnDash lessons and topics will guide your assignments, reflections, and uploads.

  • Here in the Materials tab, you’ll find wider reading, policies, and curated resources to extend your thinking and support your Independent Learning Journal (ILJ), lesson planning, and observations.

Use these resources to:

  • Prepare for study groups.

  • Strengthen your understanding of safeguarding, behaviour, planning, assessment, and professional values.

  • Connect theory with the practical work you’re submitting through LearnDash.
