SUMMARY:Supporting the Management of Change
DESCRIPTION:Applicants who wish to develop high level skills and knowledge of how to support organisations when managing change. The programme will be particularly useful for those considering accreditation for the Senior Associate level of the AoEA as well of those working at Associate level who wish to develop their knowledge and skills in the area of change management What is the problem we are trying to solve? \nThe education system is complex and constantly changing. Change ranges from low-disturbance and incremental to high disturbance and radical\, from local change to that imposed from national initiatives. System level change requires an enhanced skill level on the part of the adviser. Organisations at all levels in the education system may get into difficulty\, which may lead to negative publicity\, be very costly to put right and\, most importantly\, have a negative impact on the future of their students and staff. It is\, therefore\, important that advisers support organisations to take hold of the change agenda. \nWhat is change management?  \nChange management is a way of bringing a proactive and reactive approach to organisational change. It addresses the problems and opportunities that change brings and improves the individual and organisational capacity to cope continuously with the drivers that promote change. \nCourse Leaders – Ray Steele and Dr Tony Birch \nDr Tony Birch is an experienced adviser having held senior roles in a North-West Local Authority for more than twenty years before subsequently founding his own consultancy company (Birch Education Ltd). He is a Senior Associate of the Association of Education Advisers and sits on the Development Team. \nRay Steele has advised on supporting school performance as a SIP\, changing school governance to Foundation and Academy status\, managing school closure\, organising Principal and CEO appointment processes. He has written new school proposals and lead on project management to implement. Recently he has worked on proposals to establish Multi Academy Trusts\, merge Multi Academy Trusts (including due diligence) and the review of MAT governance. \nClick here to book your place via Eventbrite.

SUMMARY:Using a Quality Systems Approach to School Improvement
DESCRIPTION:The quality systems approach is for advisers and school leaders who wish to work at the highest level in education systems improvement. This training programme assumes the participant has expertise in supporting and advising schools\, is a school improvement expert\, and has a deep understanding of governance and leadership. We expect applicants to wish to develop high level skills and knowledge of how organisations are transformed. \nWhat is the problem we are trying to solve? \nOne of the major problems in our education system is not understanding why results vary in a particular school or within groups of schools. We want to know how we can move towards the ‘ideal state’\, in which schools are in control of their processes and\, therefore\, achieve consistently higher outputs. \nSchools and MATs are also increasingly interested in a quality-systems approach to long-term success through continuous improvement and intelligent feedback\, rather than quick fixes for external inspection. \nWhat is a quality systems approach? \nQuality systems is a way of supporting systems leaders in ensuring that their systems are fit for purpose and continuously improved through carefully managed modifications responding to continuous feedback. \nWho is delivering? \nLes Walton CBE \nLes has a national reputation for leading interventions in very challenging circumstances. He has applied the quality systems approach within schools\, FE\, local authorities\, national education agencies and the private sector. His own school was once described by the British Deming Association as the ‘best example of total quality management in education’. \nWhat will I get from the programme? \nYou will: \n1. be introduced to powerful demonstrations\, including the ‘Red Bead Experiment’\, which will de-construct how management influences individual performance; \n2. learn how to use ‘Deep Dive’ quality techniques such as ‘Ishikawa’ and ‘Value Analysis;’ \n3. be introduced to the Kaizen approach to continuous incremental improvement and how small\, often imperceptible changes add up to substantial changes over time; \n4. examine WIN-WIN and consider how to build quality into our stems and optimise their effectiveness; \n5. examine a case study\, addressing how advisers can support organisations that require significant intervention. \nFinally\, we will ask the question – is doing nothing sometimes the best answer? \nBook your place on Eventbrite here.

SUMMARY:Using an Organisational Development Approach to School Improvement
DESCRIPTION:The organisational development approach is for advisers and school leaders who wish to support high and low performing organisations to be self-managing and self-sustaining. \nThis training programme assumes the participant has expertise in supporting and advising schools\, is a school improvement expert\, and has a deep understanding of governance and leadership. We expect applicants to wish to develop high level skills and knowledge of how organisations are developed. \nWhat is the problem we are trying to solve? \nThere are still too many schools and multi-academy trusts that become vulnerable\, either in terms of standards\, financial strength or governance. Increasingly\, schools and trusts need support to be self-sustaining in their ability to develop and grow. They also need to be able to predict what is coming\, rather than simply react to external forces. \nThe pace of change in education is probably faster than it has ever been. Keeping pace with it or\, better still\, anticipating change is a vital ingredient for a proactive leader. There is a need for advisers who have the specialist skills and resilience to help build capacity and\, in the end\, ‘be not necessary’. \nWhat is an organisational development approach? \nOrganisational development is a planned\, systematic approach to improving organisational effectiveness by: \n• achieving the desired goals of high performance in an organisation through the involvement of its people \n• aligning strategy\, people and processes. \nWho is delivering? \nLes Walton CBE \nLes has a national reputation for establishing and developing numerous organisations. He has founded\, led or supported the development of Schools North East\, Tyne Metropolitan College\, the Young People’s Learning Agency\, the Northern Education Trust and the Association of Education Advisers\, building many of the organisations into highly regarded multi-million pound organisations. \nKevin McDermid \nKevin has over 25 years of senior leadership experience in secondary schools\, including two headships of inner-city comprehensive schools and the headship of a sixth form college. He was Teaching Awards Head Teacher of the Year for the North-East & Cumbria in 2004-5. Kevin is also an accredited School Improvement Partner and National Challenge Adviser; over the last ten years he has gained extensive experience as an independent consultant working with five academy chains and several LA’s and multi-academy trusts across the North of England \nWhat will I get from the programme? \nOur model of organisational effectiveness provides an adviser or school leader with a framework to support developing organisations. \nYou will: \n• learn how to apply PESTLE analysis and understand the impact of external factors on an organisation; \n• critically evaluate the design of the curriculum and curriculum-led financial planning; \n• address system weakness by applying organisational development tools; \n• ensure roles and responsibilities are effectively focused; \n• evaluate how values and leadership styles impact on performance; \n• use the Context for Organisational Improvement (COI) evaluation framework; \n• apply a variety of measurements of success and performance indicators. \nBook your place on Eventbrite here.
