TTRC - Building Capacity for Quality Teaching in Australian schools

The Paul Ramsay Foundation supported four large scale randomised control trials (RCTs) evaluating the impact of Quality Teaching Rounds (QTR) professional development on student and teacher outcomes, as well as a series of smaller studies.  In addition to investigating teacher and student outcomes, the partnership has a strong focus on equity.In 2020 the TTRC launched its social enterprise, the Quality Teaching Academy, realising a long-term vision for making QTR widely accessible for teachers across Australia.The QT Academy delivers powerful professional development, advocates for the teaching profession and connects educators through a shared vision of quality teaching.
