Who is it aimed at?
Teaching and Learning leads, staff development leads and middle/senior leaders.
What will be covered?
- The research base that sits behind instructional coaching and why teacher development is difficult.
- The differences between directive and dialogic instructional coaching and identifying leverage points to challenge teacher stasis.
- Getting the culture and thinking around teaching and learning right for instructional coaching to thrive.
What will you know/be able to do by the end of the programme?
- You will have a strong understanding as to why classroom based teacher development needs a 1:1 bespoke approach that identifies highest leverage points to challenge teacher stasis through a sustained and granular approach, whatever the level of expertise of the teacher.
- You will feel confident enough to put together an implementation plan to ensure that instructional coaching is enacted as intended within your school/trust.
What will be the potential impact on teachers and pupils as a result of this training?
- Teachers will develop a research-informed approach to effective classroom practice through challenging habitual performance.
- Teachers’ stasis will be challenged in a manner that leads to an improvement in the mechanisms for student learning, leading to improved conditions for student learning to take place.
- Teachers will become motivated to be more effective through meeting granular action steps over a sustained period of time.
