UCL programme accelerates students’ learning by two months

TAPS forms part of a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) package that aims to improve student achievement in science through supporting teaching approaches and assessments. Through their analysis, called the Focus for Teacher Assessment in Primary Science study (Focus4TAPS), the researchers found that students enrolled in classes that followed the programme finished the academic year with the equivalent of two additional months of progress in science.
