  2. Quality First Teaching • Overview of the new Ofsted Framework (September 09) in relation to quality first teaching’. • Self evaluation of impact of leadership on quality of teaching and learning. • Develop the range of strategies that leaders use to share and develop effective practice. Building on success - making a difference

  3. What is Quality First Teaching? • What is your shared expectation of high quality teaching for learning for all pupils in your school?

  4. Feedback from the activity Are any of these: • non-negotiable? • phase specific? • subject specific? • currently under debate e.g. with staff, parents and Governors?

  5. Ofsted View - New Framework September 2009 Quality of teaching: • The use of assessment to support learning; • The extent to which the curriculummeets pupils’ needs including where relevant through partnerships; • The effectiveness of care, guidance and support.

  6. Activity 1 • Consider the criteria for assessment, highlighting the criteria that best fits your current situation in school. • Choose an area where there has been recent positive developments due to your influence as a leader. • Write an impact statement (for the SEF) which illustrates this and cite the evidence.

  7. Impact statements • We’ve had a staff meeting. • We’ve bought a scheme. • We attended the area networks. • David Loxton came in and looked at our teaching. • I’ve organised the resources… again!

  8. Characteristics of impact statements • Linked directly to pupil performance • Measurable • Evaluative • Non-narrative • Evidence based • Relevant to the section of the SEF • Concise

  9. Activity 2 • Consider the criteria for curriculum highlighting the criteria that best fits your current situation in school. • What are the three key actions you need to take in relation to your school curriculum prompted by the new Ofsted criteria?

  10. Activity 3 • Consider the criteria for care guidance and support, highlighting the criteria that best fits your current situation in school. • Identify an area for development over the next 12 months. • Consider the strategies that you as a leader might use to ensure there is a consistent impact on quality first teaching across the school.

  11. Other areas of the new framework • Leadership and management of teaching and learning • Partnerships • Sustained capacity to improve

  12. The effectiveness of leadership and management in embedding ambition and driving improvement Inspectors should take account of: • The clarity and commitment with which leaders… at all levels make explicit their vision for school improvement. • Learning and progress of all cohorts, groups and individuals across different subjects.

  13. Partnerships One of the White Paper expectations: Both pupil and parent guarantees will not be met by a school working alone – collaboration with other schools and wider children’s services will need to be in place. Ofsted expectations: The curriculum provides well organised imaginative and effective opportunities for learning and a broad range of experiences. (Grade descriptor – Good)

  14. The school’s capacity for sustained improvement • Despite remedying a few small areas of weakness… other improvements… since the last inspection are fragile. • The school has focussed on areas of weakness… there is a trend of improvement in key areas. • Action to overcome weaknesses is likely to be concerted and effective. • The pursuit of excellence… over a considerable period of time has led to exceptional improvement or has securely maintained and built on previously outstanding performance.

  15. Updates • Single level testing • Rose Review • QCDA • Head teacher CPD materials • Assessing Pupils Progress
