70+ Videos: The library is extensive - and growing, with five new titles added every month. Each video deconstructs a core element of teaching, such as optimal challenge, high expectations, inquiry, formative feedback, explicit instruction and the Learning Pit.

Practical Resources: Every video is supported by summaries, transcripts, academic references, and PLC discussion points.

Classroom Footage: Many videos feature real-world classroom examples recorded during James Nottingham’s model lessons with PK-12 students around the world.

during: QUALITY of learning

after: Strengthening OUTCOMES

Strategic Use For Educational Teams

(schools, colleges, kindergartens, universities, alternative provision)

Don't let great ideas fade after a PD Day ends. Instead, use the PD-OD library as a ‘pedagogical anchor’, allowing staff to revisit core ideas and the nuances of implementation when they need it most.

As your team grows and changes, feel free to add or switch members.

TEACHING STAFF

Pre-K-12

Share your values and pedagogical language. Onboard new staff with a 'starter playlist' and invite existing staff to watch videos beforehand so that meeting time can be spent on implementation.

Give all staff the opportunity to learn privately or collaboratively, and at their own pace.

Cut through the noise of too many priorities.
Discover what makes the biggest difference in student learning.
Then, confidently decide when to adapt and when to rest assured.

So, gain a deeper understanding of the nuances of teaching.
And be better prepared for all eventualities, one step at a time.

So, avoid 'lethal mutation' by studying nuance as well as core principles.
Then, recreate excellence with integrity & precision.
