  Excellent Teacher Programme - booking is now closed

  We are looking to support our strongest teachers in developing the teaching skills of others

  Teachers will be taught to use a research approach to analyse their own practice and support development in colleagues. In this programme, teachers will work together through peer observation to create a rich description of the lesson providing evidence for collaborative analysis. They will benefit from the revelation of viewing lessons through a new lens, leading to a deeper understanding of learning within the classroom.

  It is expected that headteachers will agree to release their trained teachers to support the development of teaching both within their own school and potentially more widely.

  Programme aims:

  • develop a deeper understanding of teaching and learning and how to strengthen teaching in and beyond your own school
  • develop an understanding of a structured peer observation model including the application of tools to improve classroom practice
  • empower you to unpick and analyse your practice in a different way, through non-judgemental(?) observation, rich description and professional dialogue.

  Selection of teachers

  Teachers who participate in this programme will need to:

  • be consistently demonstrating High Quality Inclusive Teaching (HQIT)
  • aimed at, but not necessarily restricted to, UPR teachers
  • have good interpersonal skills
  • be open to reading current research, using a research methodology and prepared to use their skills to develop practice.

  Time commitment and cost

  • Pre reading of professional research articles
  • Launch event and training – one morning
  • Two peer observations in pairs; one alongside a primary phase inspector (dates to be mutually agreed and post observation discussion and a second observation and post observation discussion with their partner)
  • Final session, evaluation of research lesson experience, using your expertise to develop practice in other schools – one afternoon

  One day management partnership = Two days face to face time + reading

  Y6 data project - booking is now closed

  Aims:

  • support schools with improving outcomes at the EOKS2 through the forensic use of data and the rapid identification of those children at risk of not ‘keeping up’ and not meeting the expected standard at the end of Year 6
  • support teachers with their understanding of the required standard by the EOKS2 so that they can best prepare children at each stage of their learning
  • provide opportunities for colleagues to network, identifying common areas of difficulty and misconception, and sharing good practice
  • identify and explore common areas of misconception within Year 6, identifying and filling gaps in English and mathematics
  • equip teachers with the tools they need to best identify areas of strength/concern across the school, eg making best use of Question Level Analysis data
  • explore a wide range of pedagogical approaches to meeting the needs of the more academically vulnerable children.

   

  The project is open to a limited number of schools, meaning that a more personalised, hands on and bespoke approach will be possible. There is no limit on the number of staff who can attend each session from any school signing up to the course.
