  2. Investing in Curriculum Team Leaders and Lead Tutors • Aims of the session • To address a gap identified in the support and development offered at TCS for Curriculum Team Leaders and Lead Tutors. • To enable Curriculum Team Leaders and /Lead Tutors to play a key part in the development of their roles by creating a job description. • To use the generated job description to feed into identified areas of training need and development for CTLs and LTs. • To provide clear opportunities for CTLS and LTs to forge supportive and collaborative relationships within their ‘peer’ group.

  3. Outcomes • Feedback from the different groups will be used to generate a job description for CTLs and LTs. • The day will gauge what CTLs/LTs feel confident with, and what they feel they need more development on. • The job description will be used to feed into training and modelling areas of middle leadership that staff feel they need to develop. This might be a similar approach to Good to Outstanding programme for Middle Leadership. • An on going programme of development in school where leaders are provided with the time and opportunity to meet together once every half term.
