CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT - (CPD)

We’re committed to working closely with schools both within and beyond the alliance to raise the overall standard of teaching. Our aim is to develop passion, whilst removing any artificial barriers to learning, to ensure that everyone reaches their full potential.

We fully believe in creating a ‘culture of learning’ which encourages all to enquire, develop and share collaboratively across the education sector.

TAKE YOUR CAREER TO THE NEXT LEVEL

HOW OUR CPD CAN IMPACT YOU & YOUR COLLEAGUES

We can offer bespoke support to schools, which is designed to maximise impact. One of the ways we do this is to constantly review which areas our partner schools want to see improvement in throughout the year, tailoring our training opportunities to reflect this.

We can work with you on a school level to agree a focus and what expected outcomes are that you want to see.

Some of the areas we have looked at improving:

  • Teaching and Learning; including pedagogy and action research.
  • Behaviour for Learning; including restorative justice.
  • Marking and Feedback.
  • SEND knowledge and provision.
  • Subject and specialist area knowledge and skills.
  • Closing the gap for significant groups; for example disadvantaged pupils, pupil premium, boys or girls etc.
  • Leadership programmes to support career progression into middle and senior leadership in schools.
  • Whole school consistency.
  • School values and priorities.

All of our professional development looks at supporting:

  • Teacher Trainees (ITT) and Early Career Teachers (ECT).
  • Teaching and Associate colleagues in schools.
  • Aspiring, Middle and Senior Leaders.

The effect of this is about promoting:

  • Regular CPD to raise the standard of knowledge.
  • A positive ethos and shared values.
  • Positive attitudes to mental and physical health; including disabilities.
  • Positive attitudes to inclusion and diversity.
  • The right approach in attitude in the work environment; including a healthy work-life balance.
  • Developing partnerships with colleagues and regular co-construction.
