Summer school for developing teachers beyond the Early Career Framework NY338
Summary
Ensure that your developing teachers are supported to improve their subject and pedagogical knowledge over time (as suggested in the Ofsted Science Subject Review) by booking them onto this summer school. A range of workshops explores different aspects of pedagogy and participants are supported to consider which to develop in their own setting and to write an action plan for this. Follow up network sessions (4) provide group coaching support for participants working with others who are focused on a similar aspect of practice. This will enable the sharing of successes and consideration of how to continue to refine classroom practice through discussion with experienced expert professional development leaders, who will help participants to achieve outcomes more effectively.
