SUMMARY:Effective Leadership of Curriculum and Assessment
DESCRIPTION:The first of the two half-day courses is for primary and secondary headteachers\, senior and middle leaders in schools who design and implement curriculum and assessment. It is also intended for those who advise on curriculum\, education advisers\, LA advisers\, MAT CEOs. \nDesigning a curriculum means establishing the Intent (Values and Vision)\, Implementation (Pedagogy and Assessment) and Impact (Pupils’ Progress and Learning Standards). To do this\, we identify what works best in the context of each school and its pupil profile. \nWhat will I learn from this course? \nThis course focuses on Intent and Implementation. We outline curriculum mapping\, sequencing\, and assessment within the context of challenges faced by schools; students’ learning gaps and mental well- being. Through a focus on case studies using a variety of adaptive teaching strategies and techniques\, including digital tools\, we look at how schools strengthen pupils’ ‘knowledge and skills recall’\, so they can achieve their full academic potential. Strengthening primary and secondary schools’ formative assessment systems through ‘powerful teacher feedback’ for pupils is key. This enables pupils to take responsibility for their own learning and to move away from right/wrong answers towards cognitive process and self-reflection. \nMost importantly\, we examine how schools fully integrate skills into the knowledge- led curriculum\, thereby ensuring that all pupils develop oracy\, critical and conceptual thinking\, problem solving and reasoning skills in line with the NI CCEA\, Welsh Curriculum\, and the National Curriculum. \nHow will we arrive at this? \nA practical handbook with template\, including a curriculum template\, accompanies the course. This is a unique cross nation collaboration as English and Welsh Primary and secondary school leaders contribute to the workshop through practical case studies. They showcase how they make the theoretical concepts underlying curriculum mapping\, such as ‘sequencing’ and ‘interleaving’ work for them. We illustrate how we can construct a knowledge and skills- based approach to learning that benefits all primary and secondary pupils. We will also hear from school pupils about how they evidence their progress over time\, resulting from the impact of teacher feedback. \nBest practice in teaching/ learning /assessment and Interactive resources\, as well as digital learner profiles are discussed through “break out group chats”. Our aim: to ensure the curriculum is diverse\, inclusive\, and equitable\, all pupil groups’ needs are met\, with ample opportunity for students’ cultural capital. \nWho is leading this course? \nThe course leader is Meena Kumari Wood\, author of the popular ‘Secondary Curriculum Transformed; Enabling All to Achieve’ (Wood and Haddon\, Routledge 2021). The book has led to a series of training webinars in UK\, Northern Ireland\, Dubai and India and features on the core reading list for the MEd in Educational Leadership (University of Birmingham). She has hosted educational webinars and published articles and blogs for SchoolsWeek\, Teach Secondary\, Chartered College\, Edge Foundation and RSA and is currently writing a third book on inspection and school improvement. In addition\, she is a keynote speaker at Edu-Conferences\, including\, Education and Training Inspectorate(NI) British Schools in the Middle East\, (BSME)\, RSA\, Foundation of Educational Development (FED) and for Mary Myatt&Co. \nMeena Wood was a former HMI Ofsted\, Local Authority Adviser\, Principal of an Adult College\, and Principal of a Secondary Academy and is now Honorary Fellow of Education Leadership Academy (University of Birmingham) and KHDA inspector (Emirates). \nMeena is a widely experienced International Educational Consultant\, Author\, and Trainer. In the UK working with academies and MATs\, including Alternative Provision providers\, conducting reviews of curriculum and assessment\, the quality of education\, peer reviews\, instructional coaching\, inspection\, and governance. In addition\, she supports British and International Schools in the Middle East (Dubai). \nPre-course reading \nA copy of the book ‘Secondary Curriculum Transformed’ will be provided as part of the course materials. It is highly recommended that course participants are familiar with it\, as we refer to appendices and models within the book. The relevant parts will be signposted for participants before the course. \n  \nBook your place via Eventbrite here

SUMMARY:Evaluating the Impact of Curriculum on Pupils’ Learning
DESCRIPTION:This course follows on from Effective Leadership of Curriculum and Assessment\, which you can attend on either the 21st September\, 22nd February or 9th May. It is intended for both primary and secondary headteachers\, senior and middle leaders who want to ensure that all pupils benefit from a good quality of education and optimise their learning and outcomes. It is also intended for those who advise on curriculum; education advisers\, MAT CEOs. \nWhat will I learn from this course? \nWhat do schools gain from ‘learning walks and lesson observations linked to grades of teachers and labelling’? Do these consistently lead to an improving quality of teaching and assessment? There is little evidence to suggest that this model of quality assurance has a positive impact on pupils’ learning and outcomes. \nMoving away from a ‘tick box’ judgemental mindset\, we gather valid and reliable evidence on pupils’ learning. How we optimise our pupils’ progress and outcomes is more important now\, than ever\, in view of the legacy of sickness absences and the gaps in pupils’ knowledge and skills \nPPR lies at the heart of the school’s educational provision. It establishes a culture of intrinsic motivation and professional development for staff through instructional coaching. \nHow will we arrive at this? \nA practical handbook with templates and case studies accompanies the course\, including a PPR template for advisers and school leaders. Interactive sessions are supported through group work. \nWe refer to school case studies with live contributions from both primary and secondary leaders that illustrate how an instructional coaching model for staff can facilitate continuous professional development and result in a positive impact on pupils’ learning. In addition\, we focus on supporting those pupils not achieving their potential\, as these are identified and supported through this process. \nWho is leading this course? \nThe course leader is Meena Kumari Wood\, author of the popular ‘Secondary Curriculum Transformed; Enabling All to Achieve’ (Wood and Haddon\, Routledge 2021). The book has led to a series of training webinars in UK\, Northern Ireland\, Dubai and India and features on the core reading list for the MEd in Educational Leadership (University of Birmingham). She also publishes articles for SchoolsWeek and Teach Secondary and is a key note speaker at Edu-Conferences. \nMeena Wood was a former HMI Ofsted\, Local Authority Adviser\, Principal of an Adult College and Principal of a Secondary Academy and is now Honorary Fellow of Education Leadership Academy (University of Birmingham) and KHDA inspector (Emirates). \nMeena is a widely experienced International Educational Consultant and Trainer.
