Welcome

An Introduction from Blue Sky, Castle Phoenix, The Swan and Whitley RSA Teaching School Alliances

This is the second CPD booklet that has been produced collaboratively between Coventry’s four Teaching Schools. Together we see this joint approach with all of our strategic and associate partners, as a crucial contribution to the provision of CPD for all Coventry schools.

All of our programmes have been carefully evaluated, and have been judged as very successful. They are making a good contribution to school improvement across the City.

We believe that our partnership approach is part of Coventry’s strategy, along with the school improvement networks, to develop a self-sustaining, school-led, school to school improvement system to raise standards and ensure all Coventry children and young people receive the best education possible

This booklet provides a summary of the CPD available to all schools and academies for 2015/2016. It builds on our successes of this year and has been further developed to address school needs as identified by both formal evaluation processes, as well as discussions with a number of Coventry Headteachers and the local authority.

Our commitment is, through CPD, to:

● Provide a cost effective way of sharing and developing best practice to support school improvement across the city; ● Support all schools in the continued drive to improve student outcomes; ● Support Coventry’s priority to narrow the gap with particular focus on effective strategies to improve achievement of underperforming groups in the city; ● Support all schools with their own personal and professional development priorities; ● Promote outstanding practice through schools sharing their strengths and through benefiting from best practice regionally and nationally; ● Focus on high quality teaching and learning and approaches for continued and sustained improvement of teaching, learning and student achievement; ● Support schools’ self-evaluation processes and the application of the revised Ofsted framework

Please note that this is preliminary information and that all updated information and additional courses will be found through the Coventry Schools’ website and each of our Teaching School’s websites.

We look forward to welcoming your staff and working together over the coming year.

Governors – Cluster and Bespoke Training

Brief Overview: Governors will be able to access training through a whole governing body session or as a network of schools. The cost of such sessions will vary depending on the nature of the session and on the number of facilitators required to deliver the training.

Whilst we can deliver training and development sessions on any governance related topic, the following is a list of popular themes that governing bodies have accessed over recent years:

● Human Resources issues - recruitment and selection of staff, discipline and grievance matters, pay and staffing policies ● Monitoring and evaluation and RAISE online – the legal requirements of the governors' role, the analysis of data and how governors might engage with the school. ● Preparing for OFSTED ● Roles and responsibilities of governors ● School self evaluation

These sessions would normally be delivered in your school and can be for up to 25 governors. You might therefore find it convenient to link with another school wanting the same training and agree between you the venue.

For all of these tailored courses the school(s) would normally be expected to provide the venue, refreshments and equipment (projector, whiteboard, flip chart) and we would provide all the materials and the trainer / facilitator.
