CPD CALENDAR

“If we create a culture where every teacher believes they need to improve, not because they are not good enough but because they can be even better, there is no limit to what we can achieve.”

—Dylan Wiliam, Institute of Education, University of London.         

Intent: 

•  To embed and sustain a teaching and learning community and professional development programme built on collaboration. A continued growth in the sharing of staff expertise that is informed by pedagogy and impacts positively on learning and achievement for all students.

•  Teachers to make excellent evidence informed pedagogical choices within their practice.

•   Teachers to regularly evaluate their impact, enabling them to make informed decisions about incremental improvements within their practice.

•  Educate and empower students to be independent and self-regulated learners– providing them with the knowledge of ‘what works’ and how to manage and move forward with their learning.

•  Consistently high quality teaching for all year groups - high standards of teaching & learning throughout BCA.              

Implementation:

The CPD calendar has been designed to build on the practice developed post CV – 19, to support the teaching and learning of the curriculum, the academy priorities and the 2020 – 21 curriculum working principles;

  • We remain connected with our previous work on Rosenshine, cognitive load, metacognition and assessment.

  • We will capture the best element of our remote provision and develop this for a post-Covid-19 quality of education.

  • We will provide teachers with increased planning and collaboration time to plan and prepare great teaching.

  • We will dedicate increased time to reading aloud in class, reading challenging texts in all subjects and the explicit teaching of vocabulary.

  • We will use regular and proven methods of diagnostic assessment to inform curriculum.

  • We recognise that by “curriculum” we mean the day to day learning experience we provide.
    CPD sessions build upon the culture of personal reflection, collaboration and evidence informed practice.

How will we measure the impact of this?

Key milestones are set out to measure the impact of our CPD sessions. As reflective practitioners, we will seek to amend and revisit our CPD sessions to continuously support staff development so that teaching and learning needs are being met.
