for Learning
Sustaining Improvement:
From Good to Outstanding
Target audience: Head teachers, senior school leaders,
teachers with whole school responsibility for improving teaching
and learning, advisors (suitable for teachers in key stage 2 onwards)
Education faces a twin challenge...
1. to sustain the undoubted improvements
of recent years
2. to switch the focus from teaching
to learning.
The key question is will the strategies and policies that have
enabled us to improve teaching and raise standards be sufficient
to help us develop further and promote learning? Is it to be more
of the same or do we need a change of emphasis if we are to break
through the inevitable plateau of attainment and achievement?
This workshop is based upon...
• the belief that the challenge
outlined above demands an approach
– in terms of both pedagogy and policy – rooted
in learning
• the belief that the better
we understand learning and the learning
process the better able we are to facilitate it in others.
Specific issues to be covered...
• Basing a school explicitly
on learning
• Teachers as learners
• A framework to unpack learning
• A framework to facilitate
learning
• Moving lessons from good
to outstanding
• Creating a learning culture
– from done to to done by
• From training to coaching,
feedback to dialogue
• People and change
• Reducing the emotion - the
key role of non-judgmental data
