You will do all you can to ensure that, as a result of your teaching (and tutoring), your students achieve well relative to their prior attainment, making progress as good as or better than similar students nationally and in the Academy.

You will take responsibility for your own professional development and use the outcomes to improve your teaching (and tutoring) and your students’ learning.
