= NT Teaching and Learning Framework = = Department Education and Training, [|www.det.nt.gov.au] = = = **What teachers know, do and care about is the most powerful in influencing student achievement (John Hattie, 2003).** The NT Teaching and Learning aims to provide DET educators with descriptions and a common language of quality teaching derived from research. The framework aims to support the implementation of the [|Accountability and Performance Improvement Framework: Guide for Schools] through providing tools and processes and resources that enable teachers and school leaders to engage with their accountabilities. The following table shows these links and the attached powerpoint contains visuals explaining this connection.
