Do you struggle to find time to prioritise your professional development?
The From Principle to Practice series from the Chartered College of Teaching aims to support career-long development for all teachers, leaders and mentors. These short, useful and research-packed guides draw on the professional principles that underpin all pathways to Chartered Status, a professional accreditation that recognises the knowledge, skills and behaviours of highly accomplished educators.
The first book, Evidence-informed Leadership, is the essential companion for busy school leaders seeking to continually develop their leadership practices in line with the dynamic needs of their schools and staff.
This first book aims to support senior leaders, headteachers and those working in leadership roles across multiple schools. The book is divided into two parts: Professional knowledge, including chapters on pedagogy, curriculum and assessment; and Professional practice, including chapters on inclusive culture, supporting systems and school development. This book is published by Hachette Learning.
Join us as we dig deeper into some of the key principles behind the book. This second event in a series of chapter deep-dives will explore the following chapter: Strategic evaluation for school leadership. We will be talking to the author of this chapter, Owen Carter. The discussion will cover, but not be limited to:
- effective approaches to evaluation; how to identify what is working and why
- why strategic evidence-informed evaluation is at the heart of school development and decision making
- the value of inquiry; asking questions, gathering and triangulating useful data and evidence, and seeking input from others
- how leaders might avoid making assumptions and jumping to conclusions, and be aware of how their biases might influence their interpretation or decision-making.
