Report backs 'ward rounds for teachers'

A RADICAL Scottish pilot scheme which transforms the way teachers are trained using the idea of teaching hospitals has been backed in a new report.

Research found the Scottish Government-backed project in a number of primary and secondary schools in Glasgow had improved the experience of student teachers.

It singled out its use of "learning rounds", where groups of students observe a number of teachers at work in the same school, as well as each other.
