Implementing Seamless Curriculum Excellence, Outstanding Pedagogy and Deep Learning
How will this course benefit you?
This course will give subject leaders, subject specialists and curriculum managers a range of coaching skills and techniques that will support them in ensuring that there is a powerful culture of sharing and cascading of good and outstanding practice across their teams.
Subject leaders have a pivotal role in ensuring the curriculum intent or vision for high quality curriculum implementation and excellence in teaching and learning is translated into knowledge rich content across all subjects. We have the questions and challenging course content to ensure that subject leaders focus on how through coaching they can use challenging questions linked to the requirements of the OFSTED’s September 2022 Handbook
We focus on how to encourage opportunities for a professional dialogue where colleagues reflect on their subject knowledge, approaches to classroom pedagogy and the development of effective learning and teaching. Consistency and high quality professional conversations create the synergy and the evidence that the curriculum marries with the vision and ambition for all learners.
Here at Learning Cultures we are focusing on how to create the right CPD experience and the most useful resources that will arm subject leaders and curriculum leaders with the tools to demonstrate to OFSTED that they have the will and the expertise to inspire their teams to deliver a substantive and high quality curriculum and articulate with powerful aplomb the impact that the pedagogy, sound subject expertise and positive feedback to learners is having on the life chances of each and every learner they teach.
