One of the papers is a work in progress and covers ‘teachers teaching’. 

The other covers ‘teachers learning’. This paper reports on a field experiment in 82 secondary schools in England trialing a low-cost intervention in schools’ operations: teachers working in the same school observed and scored each other’s teaching.
