The ETI Report on Slemish College (April 2009) states:
‘The quality of almost all of the teaching observed
ranged from good to outstanding: three-quarters of the
lessons were very good, or outstanding. In the best
practice observed, the teachers demonstrated a very
clear understanding of the learning cycle, used
assessment for learning strategies effectively, made
explicit connections in the learning process, and used a
wide range of ‘cutting-edge’ learning and teaching
approaches and resources to support learning and guide
the pupils.’
