Supporting the Development of Teachers

Focus: Leadership
For: Middle and senior leaders

Description:

In this session, Matt will share his ‘golden triangle’: quality assurance; performance management; and professional development.

He will explore ways of ensuring that all teachers are supported to improve their practice. He will look at ways of quality assuring – or rather quality improving – teaching in a holistic way, and of ensuring performance management – or rather performance development – is fair, pragmatic and leads to professional development.  And he will examine the central tenets of effective CPD.

This session will also provide tips on observing lessons effectively, how to prepare, how to conduct yourself during an observation, and how to give feedback.

Central to this session will be an examination of what quality teaching looks like and how we might reliably observe it and improve it.

Director’s Note:

A great support for leaders who have been unable to fully fulfil their role due to bubbles, etc. Some great advice, tips and reminders from Matt.
