The Outstanding Teaching, Learning and Assessment English programme, commissioned by the Education and Training Foundation and delivered by ccConsultancy, aimed to systematically improve the teaching, learning and assessment of English.Â
The OTLA English projects were showcased on the 26th of February 2020 in Birmingham. The event was a great opportunity for practitioners to share their research. Conference artist Graham Ogilvie captured the day in pictures, and Professor Jean McNiff, an action research specialist, led the celebration of what the programme has achieved.
