Everything Educators Need to Strengthen Teaching

A clear, practical approach to making evidence-based teaching part of everyday practice.

Step-by-Step Guides, Ready When You Are

Master new teaching techniques quickly with step-by-step guides rooted in cognitive science—designed for autonomous, time-efficient professional development.

Explore a library of practical, classroom-tested techniques designed to overcome student barriers and refine your teaching, with themes and categories that help you find the right strategy.

Use the HOW2 Barriers to Progress Prioritisation Tool to pinpoint the barriers having the greatest impact on learner progress and access evidence-informed techniques tailored to those priorities.

Build and share curated technique sets aligned to institutional goals. These collections help educators focus development around teaching priorities, and give managers a clear starting point for introducing HOW2.

Context-Driven AI for Better Teaching Decisions

Tailor evidence-informed approaches to your learners, subject, barriers to progress and teaching environment. Get practical guidance adapted to the realities of your classroom, workshop or training setting.

Unlike generic AI, every response is generated from HOW2's evidence-informed teaching techniques, ensuring lesson plans, resources and guidance remain grounded in proven practice.

Start with what you're seeing—disengagement, low participation or identified learner needs—or upload a class profile to receive practical teaching strategies adapted to your learners and context.

Support coaching conversations with evidence-based recommendations linked directly to lesson observations, barriers to progress and identified development areas.

Empower Educators Through Collaboration

Enable your educators to exchange best practices and deepen their practice through shared learning and peer engagement.

Document your insights and share them with colleagues within your institution and the wider HOW2 community.

Create groups that transcend subject and campus boundaries for collaborative learning and knowledge sharing.

Celebrate achievements, share events, and promote pedagogy organization-wide with Community Notices.

Leverage a Community of Support for Ongoing Success

When you join us, you automatically become part of a vibrant and supportive community. You'll gain ongoing access to webinars and in-person events where educators come together to connect, exchange ideas, and share best practices.

Ongoing support from the HOW2 team ensures a smooth and effective integration into your teaching and learning framework. Receive expert guidance tailored to your institution's needs, addressing specific challenges and ensuring the platform is seamlessly adopted across your curriculum.

The HOW2 Champions Training equips your staff with the knowledge and skills necessary to support the successful implementation and integration of the HOW2 Platform. By empowering these key staff, you ensure that the platform is effectively utilized across your institution, fostering a smooth and seamless adoption process.

Our five-day instructional coaching training helps educators maximize their impact in the classroom. This immersive program provides tools and strategies to enhance instructional practices, leading to improved student outcomes and sustained teaching excellence.

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 emphasize actionable feedback using evidence-based teaching techniques, helping teachers improve pedagogy in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.

Track Engagement with Reporting Tools

Tracking features allow faculty developers to see how staff are engaging with the platform and which techniques are being implemented — helping to drive continuous improvement.

Analyze engagement across individuals, departments, and the entire organization. These insights enable managers to adjust strategies and improve teaching practices with real-time data.

Use the HOW2 CPD Journal to capture learning from HOW2, external training, conferences, qualifications, and workplace activities in one place.

Identify teaching and learning priorities for individual teachers, departments, or the entire organization 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.

We were all set to develop resources inspired by the work of Barak Rosenshine, but TeachingHOW2s proved to be a foolproof solution, removing the bulk of the work associated with creating evidence-based teaching and learning resources.
