Knowledge Banks for Teachers

KnowledgeBanks are one of the most exciting areas of the site. A KnowledgeBank is a collection of articles and web-resources from our library or third party sources. They are designed to facilitate rapid and deep professional learning in a subject.

Typically, KnowledgeBanks comprise a concise introduction to the field, a range of articles and resources and some questions to consider within your school or trust. Only KnowledgeBanks that fall within your purchased Topics will be fully accessible. Individuals and schools can create and manage their own KnowledgeBanks.

A subscription to TeachingTimes.com allows its users to curate, create and share KnowledgeBanks within its network. KnowledgeBanks can powerfully help leaders in their development of pedagogy and effective classroom practice.

STAFF ENGAGEMENT IN CHANGE

TeachingTimes.com is not a passive resource but a tool that puts teachers in control of their professional learning and development. It is used very effectively by many schools and colleges to support project groups engaged in changing curriculum or school policy.

The site provides access to research and best practice on their project theme and allows staff to compile a KnowledgeBank to show and explain their ideas to the rest of the staff. Teachers can also use TeachingTimes.com to identify existing knowledge, expertise and best practice; then create their own online content to use with colleagues to further promote effective practice.

Teaching Resources for Primary and Secondary School Teachers

Classroom Resources are a series of integrated resources for direct use in the classroom to support deep learning. They cover a range curriculum areas and age groups.

Subscribers to the Creative Teaching and Learning Topic can create their own Classroom Resources, which can cover similar or more limited objectives. You can choose to publish them within your school/Trust network or even to the TeachingTimes network. 

Resources created by us are designed to act as a platform for teachers to deliver effective cross-curriculum projects and project-based-learning strategies. We believe this is a key curriculum approach for the future. However, the resources can be used for any teaching objective.
