Integrated CPD and Coaching for Continuous Growth
The HOW2 platform combines professional development and coaching tools, giving teachers the freedom to drive their growth while allowing coaches to offer meaningful support without micromanaging. This balanced approach fosters continuous learning and development.
The Nudge feature keeps coaching relationships active by allowing users to provide subtle reminders that build on previous sessions. This continuous engagement fosters ongoing professional development and helps keep progress on track.
HOW2 transforms lesson observations into a developmental process. Instead of focusing on grades, observations emphasise actionable feedback using evidence-based teaching techniques, helping teachers improve pedagogy in a supportive, non-judgemental environment.
The Notes feature enables coaches and teachers to record progress during coaching sessions. This ongoing documentation promotes long-term development by providing a record of continuous growth and learning throughout the coaching relationship.
Track Engagement with Reporting Tools
Tracking features allow administrators to easily monitor individual and college-wide engagement. This helps ensure effective professional development and better insights into instructional practices.
Analyse engagement across individuals, departments, and the entire organisation. These insights enable TLA managers to adjust strategies and improve teaching practices with real-time data.
The platform integrates seamlessly with your quality assurance processes, allowing department heads and TLA managers to monitor and contribute to progress. Easily track which techniques are being implemented and ensure continuous improvement.
Identify teaching and learning priorities for individual teachers, departments, or the entire organisation with our Priority Reports. Use these insights to pinpoint perceived barriers to progress, enabling focused CPD sessions that drive continuous improvement and boost educational outcomes.
