Teacher Tapp
Anyone can download the app from the Google App Store or Google Play. It’s free to download and use, easy to set up and you can start using it straight away!
The app is designed for teaching teams working in English schools — whether state or private. Currently, it may be less relevant to non-teaching staff (such as teaching assistants), teachers in early years settings, further education or schools outside of England – however we are now operating in other countries too.
Teaching is often talked about, but teachers often don’t get a voice. So, Teacher Tapp was created to give teachers a voice. Teachers’ opinions are too often unknown and therefore easily ignored. Co-founders, Laura McInerney and Becky Allen, are former teachers who believe that understanding teachers’ lives helps schools to retain staff and reduce the number of people leaving the profession, while improving teaching so it works for all.
The Teacher Tapp app allows teachers to share thoughts and opinions by answering three short multiple choice questions sent to their phone at 3:30 pm each day. Thousands of teachers complete the survey each day and are helping to build a picture of what it’s really like in schools so things can be changed for the better.
The app is a free and easy CPD resource. You can also see what thousands of your teacher colleagues across the country are thinking about the most important education issues of the day.
“Teacher Tapp has been hugely influential for me in acting as a gateway to research and opening up my eyes as a school leader” – Jonathan Mountstevens
