Teach Well’s Essential Induction Resources for Great Teaching

Teach Well’s Essential Induction Resources has been developed to support schools in building and strengthening their own induction handbooks for teachers. It brings together a curated collection of posters and guides that capture the key principles and practical implementation ideas behind the high-impact instructional strategies explored in greater depth through our courses. Designed to be flexible and adaptable, this collection allows schools to select and integrate the resources most relevant to their context—whether for induction materials, professional learning documentation, or team-based planning.

These resources are not a substitute for in-school training or the deeper learning that occurs in our programs. Instead, they are intended to complement that work by offering a simple and efficient reference point to begin the process of developing a shared understanding of excellent teaching practices, within each school’s own unique context.

We will continue to update and expand this collection regularly, ensuring schools always have access to the most current versions and new additions. By weaving these resources into your school’s own frameworks, you can support every teacher — whether new or experienced — to invest in the practices and conversations required for excellent teaching and learning in your school, every day, for every student.

For educators looking to go deeper, Teach Well’s courses include detailed guidance, subject- and year-level specific explanations and examples, expert demonstrations, hands-on rehearsal opportunities and discussions with experienced peers. Teach Well’s Instruction and Coaching Companion also provides detailed and concrete guidance for each of the fine-grained practices in these posters, supporting high-performing teaching teams to refine their teaching practice.

 

Teach Well’s Instruction & Coaching Companion – Book

Teach Well’s Instruction and Coaching Companion has been developed as a practical and collaborative resource to support high-performing teaching teams in strengthening instructional practice and enhancing student outcomes throughout their schools.

The Companion is intended to guide professional conversations, drive continuous improvement, and build a shared language and understanding of some of the most foundational elements of effective teaching and learning. It is intentionally selective by focusing on high-impact strategies that warrant sustained attention over time, rather than attempting to capture every aspect of excellent teaching.

Grounded in evidence-based instruction, the Companion presents a suite of interconnected strategies — not standalone techniques — that must be applied intentionally, with an understanding of the content being taught and the unique context of each classroom. Effective teachers skillfully combine and adapt these tactics to maximise student participation, initial success, and long-term retention and application of important content.
