: Oldham and Tameside Practitioner Network Oldham and Tameside Practitioner Networks

Pinnacle Learning Research School has been working with the Oldham and Tameside Practitioner Networks to ensure that evidence-informed practice is at the heart of their Subject and Teaching and Learning discussions. We have built on last year’s work on the EEF Feedback Guidance Report to focus our training of SLEs leading these groups on the evidence from EBE’s ​‘Pillars of Assessment’ to evaluate the importance of assessment design and implementation. Each subject Practitioner Network Group has tools and questions to frame their discussions around the evidence and this is supported by a programme focusing on implementation planning at senior leaders level with the Assistant Heads/​principals with responsibility for teaching and learning. The aim of this cohesive and collaborative approach is to ensure that the work of middle leaders is aligned with that of teaching and learning leads and school development planning.
