Leadership Inquiry Question - How do Senior Leaders build their organisation around cultural proficiency?
School leaders must focus on creating work environments that inspire effective teaching and teacher satisfaction. A strong, vibrant professional culture, in any school, influences both continual professional improvement and, ultimately, pupil outcomes. Therefore, a key priority for school leaders must be the continual development of a professional culture that focus on increasing capacity. How do school leaders evaluate the strength and vibrancy of their professional culture and identify the appropriate next steps for improvement?.

Leadership Inquiry Question - How do Senior Leaders ensure consistency around successful teaching and learning?
Consistency, high expectations and high standards are not an ideal but rather a necessity and the drive to achieve these components should be led by highly skilled, knowledgeable and confident leaders. This PLC will support participants in how they increase staff’s knowledge and understanding of greater depth teaching and learning and will seek to increase an individual’s confidence in leading highly effective and rigorous professional learning experiences. Ensuring every teacher and teaching assistants are working from, and holding themselves accountable to an agreed set of pedagogical principles for highly-effective teaching and learning must be a priority before introducing the next new initiative.
Colleagues will have the opportunity to access a secure online discussion board should they wish, enabling the building of a community, plus some connection with the course tutor to respond to and support. There is an additional charge of £10 per person per session for this facility. **please state at point of booking if you wish to have access to the online discussion board (make a note in the 'Special requirements' box of the booking form)
