Plenary: Supporting Bottom-Up Teacher Development<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This talk will focus on the ways in which an institution can move towards a negotiated Teacher Development programme by supporting bottom up teacher development. We will primarily focus on a number of key \u2018nudge points\u2019 necessary to try to create a school culture where refection, goal setting, and independent learning are supported. The first of these is a focus on Mentoring both in terms of Early Career Development, and also the creation of Teacher Development Pathways as part of the development of more experienced teachers. Secondly, we will look at the development of a clear cycle of goal setting and assessment of success through reflection encouraged by a curriculum designed to support such a focus. The move away from a \u2018knowledge led\u2019 curriculum towards a focus on \u2018behaviours\u2019 and the assessment of success in these behaviours can help to reorientate the assessment of success in the class. Thirdly, there will be a focus on the role of Action Research, Supported Experiments, Knowledge Share sessions, and Professional Development Groups in helping teacher development become continuous.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
