The HOW2 Teacher Development Platform empowers educators to lead their own professional learning and collaborate to strengthen their practice. This platform provides systematic, on-demand expertise in evidence-based teaching (EBT) for every educator, offering scalable support that builds teaching and learning capacity across institutions — eliminating the costs and inconvenience of traditional workshops.

Available anytime, from any device, the HOW2 visual guides are presented in formats such as infographics and click-through presentation screens. These guides are designed for quick learning and easy adaptation in classrooms, labs, or workspaces, accelerating the application of high-impact practices that increase student engagement and enhance learning outcomes.

The HOW2 platform’s new AI Assistant, fully integrated with its 160 visual guides, offers real-time, tailored support that helps educators adapt and apply teaching techniques to specific subject areas and lesson topics. It also provides customisable suggestions for incorporating advanced areas like EdTech, employability skills, and online teaching.

Used by a diverse range of educational institutions in the UK, the US, and Canada, the HOW2 platform translates teaching practices into results-driven, evidence-based outcomes.
