    The Classroom Excellence Programme, delivered in partnership with Evidence Based Education, will provide over 4,500 teachers with access to research and practical tools to enhance teaching and learning in their classrooms.

    Almost 300 primary schools have signed up to the Programme, which is one of the Cross Cutting Initiatives being delivered as part of the Department's RAISE Programme and also delivers on key commitments in the TransformED education strategy. 

    The Classroom Excellence Programme has been developed by Evidence Based Education and offers teachers personalised learning, with tailored pathways based on their prior knowledge, development needs and the specific needs of their pupils.

    Teachers will have access to resources, including self-study courses linking research to practical classroom approaches, webinars on key teaching topics, expert insights from education specialists, video demonstrations of effective teaching techniques in primary settings and a comprehensive resource library.
