Implementing the Teaching School Vision Peter Kent Lawrence Sheriff School
Why we decided to apply • Past experience • Where we wanted to go • Dr Who syndrome
An initial Philosophy: • Educational excellence and the development of the child will be at the heart of the work of the alliance. • Collaboration and relationship building within the Alliance will flourish because of mutual trust and respect. • We aim to develop a networked learning community, developing the quality of teaching and learning through bespoke training and mutual support
Benefits and challenges • No two models the same • Helping us to be outward facing • Learning new skills • Capacity- new staffing structures • Building new relationships and partnerships • Being nimble • Strengthened HE relationships
ITT • School Direct NQT Conference • Organised by 10 different schools • 45 schools send delegates • Over 60 attend
Partnership Plus • Action Research • Conference • Lesson observation for Real
School to school support • Types of support • Schools of different types supported
Leadership Curriculum • ML, SL and H • Case Studies • Local consortia
Research and Development: Closing the Gap and ISV • Evidence led practice • DFE priority • EEF • Shifting fashions in relation to ISV
Thoughts about research • Priorities on the ground are not those at the centre • ‘Clinical interventions’- nice idea, but do they exist? • Teaching School links to HE need to be more organic- partnership plus
Some things we could do better • Serious research through partnership with HE • Strategic deployment of SLEs, LLEs and NLEs • Play a part in achieving coherence within a changing system (new school structures, emergence of Royal College, changing role of professional associations, new models of accountability)
Things that have gone well • Responding to what is distinctive and exciting in our local area • Forming partnerships and networking • Developing our role in ITT • Shifting mind-sets internally and externally • Research does have a higher profile • A renewed focus upon the centrality of teaching
