Welcome

to the TRAINING & INFORMATION site for Vertical Tutoring. This website is a response to the many individuals and schools that want to learn more about the organisational support culture of Vertical Tutoring and use VT to improve student outcomes and enhance the quality of teaching and learning. This includes understanding and developing the critical links between VT, personalisation and parent partnership. To do this involves engaging and redefining the ECM agenda (every Child Matters UK) and NCLB (No Child Left Behind USA) in a more holistic way.  It also means 'unlearning' much of what we take for granted in our management of schools.
