There are three new reports from teaching schools' research on pedagogy themes agreed by the NCTL research and development network. Teaching school alliances are the way forward for professional development and this research by teachers for teachers will help shape national policy and implementation. During 2012 to 2014 nearly 100 teaching schools took part in school-based enquiry around 1 of 3 national themes:
Theme 1: what makes great pedagogy?
Theme 2: what makes great professional development which leads to consistently great pedagogy?
Theme 3: how can leaders lead successful teaching school alliances which enable the development of consistently great pedagogy?
The reports from this project have been published alongside a number of case studies from the schools involved.
National Early Years Teacher Day is back on Wednesday, April 17th and it's a fantastic opportunity to shower our incredible Early Years Teachers with appreciation for the magic they bring to young lives.
We recognise the vital role Mentors play in the success of the Early Career Framework. To celebrate their dedication and contributions to the programme, we have launched 'Mentor of the Month'. This months winner is Mark Richards from the Marches School.
