Abstract
Building upon a developing partnership between CenTCS and our International Affiliate, the Teachers and Teaching Research Centre at the University of Newcastle, Australia, CenTCS obtained funding in 2025-2026 from the Glasgow Global Partnership Fund to pilot Quality Teaching Rounds (QTR) in Scotland. This project fostered further partnerships between local schools and community organisations, and researchers at the University of Sydney, Mälardalen University, the University of Potsdam, and Radboud University. In 2026-2027, the project focuses on evaluation, an expansion of the pilot in schools, data analysis and manuscript preparation about teacher dialogue in relation to the Quality Teaching Model and QTR, and the development of international collaboration and bids to support next steps.
