Basingstoke and Deane district course list 2024-25
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.
