Expert Teaching Programme
How do I develop my understanding of outstanding classroom
practice?
This programme aims to enhance teacher-expertise through a range of tried and tested research based pedagogy.
Participants will be provided opportunities to reflect on their own teaching approaches and their quality and impact. Participants will also be expected to undertake a small action research project
and carry out further reading culminating in a presentation to fellow participants.
Participants will be expected to adopt a willingness to be open and active participants throughout, and to reflect critically on their own practice, considering how they might adapt their methods to
become consistently outstanding teachers.
Suitable for: ‘Good to outstanding’, confident classroom practitioners who wish to develop their expertise further. This programme is suitable for Primary and Secondary colleagues.
Dates: Starts 12th January 2020, delivered over 5 Twilight CPD sessions, with development work between sessions.
