The aim of the webinar is to discuss the work presented by Anna Pons (OECD), whose keynote will delve in the results of the recent OECD report from spring 2025 about the complexity of the teaching job. Further understanding the nature of teaching is critical, as no other factor within schools has a greater impact on student's academic success and overall achievement than the quality of teaching.

High quality teaching is not just about the teacher; factors such as class size, curriculum design, and the wider school environment play a crucial role in shaping what type of practices the teacher can enact in the classroom. The environment can either support or hinder high-quality teaching. School leaders have a critical role in navigating these factors, helping to create conditions that can enable teachers to excel in their craft.
