While teachers were trying to recover from last school year over the summer, we were busy putting three new supports in place for ELP participants. As we mentioned in a previous blog post, we worked with our partner, TNTP, to create an Instructional Coaching Guide for our Virtual Instructional Coaches (VICs). The handbook walks VICs through everything they need to be successful. It includes: 1 - ELP’s vision for effective coaching 2 - The VIC’s roles and responsibilities 3- How to use the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle as a coach 4 - Three common coaching pathways VICs can use to deliver feedback to their New Teachers (NTs) 5 - An introduction to the ELP CORE Rubric that VICs can use as a benchmark and guide to help NTs improve their teaching practice. We are eager to see the impact the rubric and PDSA cycle have on student outcomes! Find out what the other two big changes are by following the link in the comments below. #education #teacher #educatorsleading #theprofessionofteaching #newteacher

To support ITT providers with the new Intensive Training and Practice (#ITAP) requirement that may well be part of the new Ofsted framework, we are pleased to launch our award-winning, phase-specific courses, focusing on behaviour management, adaptive teaching and professional behaviours. Digital approximations of practice are at the heart of each course, where trainees receive high quality feedback from experienced teachers in a supportive, 'safe' online environment. Every course includes detailed resources such as roleplays, case studies, readings, micro-teaching feedback forms that ITT providers can access via the Teacher Success Platform (TSP). Providers can view individual and cohort data and insights in real-time and trainees receive four feedback reports and a personalised certificate of completion. Please do get in touch if you would like a preview or a demo of our platform. https://lnkd.in/eKUDRmsS #ITT #ITAP #digitalapproximations #teacherdevelopment #trainees #scenarios #reflectivepractice #pedagogy #selfefficacy #teachereducation #feedback

CPD for experienced teachers: A recent finding from DfE has highlighted that two fifths of experienced teachers don't feel that they have sufficient training and development opportunities. How can you overcome some of the difficulties and problems that the DfE reported? High quality CPD ensures colleagues feel invested in. It helps them to gain the skills necessary to deliver high-quality lessons and this in turn helps them to feel more successful which impacts positively on well-being. Investment in CPD supports retention. Strategically planned: Rather than responding ad-hoc, create a year long plan for how teacher knowledge and skills can be developed so that colleagues have the best chance of implementing improvements in the classroom. Provide choice and flexibility: Pinpoint within a category of training what specifically teachers need to take their teaching to the next level. This might include, for example, a mix of core units of study and optional units of study. Difficulties with cover: Create programmes which can involve a mix of release from classroom teaching and twilight training. Difficulties in accessing high-quality supply and costs prevent some colleagues from accessing the training they need. Peers: Provide opportunities for teachers to share the outcomes from their training and engage in professional dialogue. Personalised support: Provide mentoring and coaching to help teachers translate research and theory into practical practice that makes a difference. If you are interested in developing the teaching of reading comprehension, we can help you put in place all of the above. 💠 An extensive online course with core modules and optional modules. 💠 Teachers can create a plan for the year that is personal to them. 💠 Leaders can coordinate opportunities for small group training and peer dialogue. 💠 Zoom based coaching and mentoring can be provided to supplement the online course, including for the reading leader so they are well-placed to lead on developments in school. 💠 Excellent advice and guidance to aid planning and a range of teaching resources to aid workload. https://lnkd.in/eUudxJNA #ReadingComprehension #Reading #Comprehension #CPD #TeacherCPD

We move first so our brains can understand how to USE our bodies to explore and learn about the world around us. The brain and the body have to work TOGETHER to function appropriately in AND out of the classroom. When we separate the two, we hinder a child's development and their learning. Moving and learning TOGETHER. Need more?

ATTENTION EDUCATIONAL LEADERS In the quest for educational excellence, we often focus on improving student behavior through positive approaches. Yet, an equally crucial element demands our attention: elevating teacher performance through positive strategies grounded in the same principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)! Why is this shift critical? Because empowering teachers with the tools, support, and acknowledgment they need not only enhances their performance but also sets a precedent for a positive, supportive learning environment. This approach benefits teachers while simultaneously enriching the educational experience for students, creating a cycle of continuous improvement and mutual respect. Join us as we champion a culture of positivity and support in education, where both students and teachers are set up to succeed. Let's make the shift together. At the Professional Crisis Management Association (PCMA), we're proud to root our training solutions in ABA, perfectly aligning with PBIS. After all, the journey to bringing out the best in our students begins by getting the best from their educators. They deserve the same dignity, respect, and positive approaches we advocate for our students. #EducationalExcellence #TeacherSupport #PositiveEducation #PCMA #BehaviorManagement #PerformanceImprovement

Naturally, we talk a lot about the positive impact our professional support model has on New Teachers. Participating In-Person Mentors (IPMs) and Virtual Instructional Coaches (VICs) benefit as well. In fact, they told us the program supports their growth as teachers. According to the Summative Assessment that Digital Promise completed at the end of our two-year pilot program, almost all IPMs and VICs felt that mentoring and coaching in ELP had positively influenced their own teaching practice. Some emphasized the reciprocity they felt with their New Teacher, how much they learned, and that working with New Teachers kept their own teaching fresh. As one of our IPMs, Kristina Pittman, told us during the pilot, “It’s an excellent opportunity to train the next generation and for us veteran teachers to learn from them. They have a lot of energy, are optimistic and have unique ideas and perspectives. They can motivate and inspire us just as much as we can motivate and inspire them.“ If you are an experienced teacher, what has a new teacher taught you recently? #education #teacher #educatorsleading #theprofessionofteaching #newteacher

Today in CSPD Educator Land, I had a thought about the role of an educator. Do you feel like you must have all the answers? Do you feel stressed out trying to look for information just to confirm the correct information. Facts required proof right? The dreaded imposter syndrome is breathing down your neck. It is okay! I promise. It’s okay to be nervous to make mistakes. It’s even okay to make mistakes. It’s how you grow. Lean into it. Personally I can talk about my struggle with not speaking aloud with to match what I’m thinking in my head. So speaking classes are on my do-to-list. Follow your passion ya’ll! Have a wonderful weekend. If you’re working, be safe, prepared, and ready for all the greatness you have to give. #SterileProcessing #SPD #Growth #Educator

I WAS FORTUNATE My route into the profession was via a course that allowed me to attend Uni one day a week while spending four days a week in school So by my NQT year (what they called us then) I'd had a lot of experience teaching and had to keep reminding myself to engage in the training offered to NQTs This route into teaching was perfect for me as I like to clearly see the link between theory and practice being in Uni one day then in a classroom applying the theory the next was great! I WAS FORTUNATE For others, the move from student to teacher can be a sharp shock And add to that the complexities of the post-Covid classroom teaching quickly becomes a tall order My behaviour management webinars give ECTs the bedrock they need to build their confidence and competence in classroom management I look at: ☑ Principles - who do students get when they get YOU? ☑ Practice - how will you work your 'who' into what you do? ☑ Policy - What are the school-wide behaviour expectations? I take ECTs through these 3 themes in a 3-part webinar series. Session 2 is coming up on 27th Feb. Are YOUR ECTs booked in? Joining info in the comments
