The Learning Partnership has commissioned expert tutors to lead professional learning communities (PLC) for staff in schools.
Our PLC tutors will work with and support teachers, meet regularly, share expertise and work collaboratively to improve teaching skills and the academic performance of students
Comprising two sessions (each between 45 and 60 minutes) per term focusing on a specific area. .
Session 1: engage colleagues in a lecture style webinar exploring a key issue, area, piece of knowledge, resource or strategy.
Inter-session activity
Session 2: discourse session, exploring the activity and further thinking. The session will also allow for sharing practice.
Beyond Behaviour provides consultancy, coaching and professional development in all aspects of behaviour, wellbeing and leadership.

Session 3: Key input: Self-esteem: Low self-esteem is often, and rightly, cited as an underlying factor in explaining challenges a pupil experiences and perhaps presents with.
Solution focused thinking is one of the most powerful approaches currently being used to build pupils’ sense of value, competence and control. This input will be supplemented with an understanding of stroke theory which shines an illuminating light on why, for example, some pupils struggle to accept positive feedback.
Intersessional activity: Creating a stroke map for a pupil/class; developing scaling to focus attention on specific areas of concern.
Session 4: Feedback from intersessional: What insights have participants gained into the pupil? What strategies have been used – and indicators of progress.
Summer:
6/5/21 : 4-4.45
24/6/21 : 4-4.45
Session 5: Key input: Creating effective partnerships: How often do problems arise when working with others because of a confusion over expectations?
The pupil hopes that you’re going to magic their problems away, perhaps a classteacher is hoping you have a magic wand to transform a pupil’s behaviour (and ditto a parent re their own child.)
Even with the best of intentions, problems can and do arise when working with others, whether this is pupils/students, other school colleagues, parents and others. Insights from the contracting model can help enhance these working relationships and minimise the likelihood of problems arising.
Session 6: Feedback from intersessional: Reflections on a key partnership participants have been engaged in and how material from Session 5 has helped enhance it.
Plus: Next steps: A review of the programme over the 3 terms.

Wherever and whoever he is working with, Steve’s emphasis is always upon creating a collaborative partnership to empower people to effect changes that will increase their effectiveness and promote their wellbeing.
