SLE Application Process - Summary The Dales Teaching School Alliance invites applicants with proven expertise to become Specialist Leaders of Education in their chosen specialism. The application process is open until Friday 30th September. Applicants must return the attached application form and a reference from their current Head Teacher will be sought. Applicants will be invited to an Assessment Interview on Friday 7th October when they will be asked to deliver a presentation to a selection panel. The panel will decide whether the applicant successfully meets the criteria and will inform the applicants thereafter. Successful applicants will attend a training seminar in November – date tbc.

Prioritisation Criteria, The Dales Teaching School Alliance is looking to recruit SLEs with the following areas of expertise: Mathematics Literacy STEM Transition from primary to secondary education Assessment Inclusion SEND Creative curriculum

The Assessment Interview Applicants will be invited to demonstrate their experience in their chosen specialism to a small panel of professionals. The panel will include: Head Teacher from the Dales School (National Leader of Education) Teaching School Alliance Coordinator from the Dales School Teaching School Alliance Coordinator from a different Teaching School Alliance (Secondary) Head Teacher from a different Primary School (Local Leader of Education) NCC Senior Officer Applicants will be required to deliver a 10 minute presentation on their experience of delivering their specialism with staff from their own or other schools and of their leadership of their specialism. The panel will ask questions and discuss their presentation and experience. Following the Assessment Interview the panel will decide whether the applicant fully meets the criteria and on whether to designate them as a Specialist Leader of Education.

Timeline Deadline for Application – Friday 30th September Assessment Interview - Friday 7th October Decision regarding designation – W/C 10th October Training on the role of a SLE – Date in November

Specialist leaders of education – guidance information Background and vision The role Eligibility The designation process Training Deployments Quality assurance and impact monitoring

Background The White Paper (2010) “As we create the national network of Teaching Schools, we will also designate ‘Specialist Leaders of Education’ – excellent professionals in leadership positions below the head teacher (such as deputies, bursars, heads of department) who will support others in similar positions in other schools.”

The Vision The SLE role should be about: improving outcomes for children leaders supporting leaders drawing on specialist knowledge and areas of expertise being flexible, to meet the needs of supported schools sustainability – helping schools to improve their own leadership capacity. The SLE concept is very closely linked to the vision for teaching schools, since teaching schools are responsible for the designation, de-designation, brokerage and quality assurance of SLEs. There are now over 7000 SLEs designated around the country with Ultimate target of around 10,000 to ensure full national coverage.

“To me the role of an SLE is to help improve outcomes for all young people, not just those at your own school. An SLE must see themselves as a leader of education, not as a leader of an institution. An SLE must be multi skilled and be able to coach, mentor, demonstrate, train and facilitate... Most importantly, like any good leader, they need to have the emotional intelligence to know which approach / style to adopt dependent on the context or situation.”

The role An SLE is a middle or senior leader with a particular area of expertise, who will support middle/senior leaders in other schools. Deployment will be based on need and demand. Deployment types will vary. No pre-defined time commitment, but estimate an average of 15 days a year. We think there will be many benefits for SLEs and their schools, e.g.: opportunities to work independently, to be creative and try out new ideas developing coaching and facilitation skills the opportunity to network with peers gaining experience of different school environments the chance to learn from ideas and approaches used in other schools developing skills and knowledge which can benefit their own school the knowledge they are helping others to improve and are having a positive impact on outcomes for children.

“It developed my understanding of different approaches, as my partner school had some great ideas… I was able to share this good practice with colleagues back ‘at base’. It developed my range of leadership styles, as you must be sensitive as an SLE and empathising with your partner school / colleagues is vital. My SLE role has been a fantastic learning experience for all involved, but especially for me!”

Eligibility SLEs can come from any school, not just outstanding schools The eligibility criteria focus on Experience Track record Capacity and commitment Skills Full details can be found on the Government UK website https://www.gov.uk/guidance/specialist-leaders-of-education-a-guide-for-potential applicants website, along with an agreed list of areas of specialism for SLEs Teaching schools will also set their own prioritisation criteria, according to need/demand in a given area

The designation process Teaching School advertises vacancies Application forms completed and submitted to the Teaching School along with Headteacher reference and confirmation of support Teaching Schools invites all applicants to an assessment interview, which will usually include an individual presentation Teaching School will notify applicants of the outcome of the assessment interview and whether recommended for designation The Teaching School will confirm designation and certificate will be issued by Teaching School

Training Core Training: (one day) An introduction to school-to-school support to equip SLEs with the tools and techniques for effective school-to-school support and to enable SLEs to support change and ensure impact when supporting others Delivered locally following assessment interview and designation as an SLE Coordinated through designating teaching school

SLE deployment Commissioning SLE support could be commissioned (and potentially funded) by schools, local authorities, diocesan bodies, academy trusts, the Department for Education… Brokerage Teaching schools are responsible for brokering SLE support within their alliance or area. They will receive requests for SLE expertise, and allocate the right SLEs to the schools needing support. Deployment Models and types of deployments will vary, depending on need, e.g.: a two-day diagnostic exercise half a day’s support each week for two terms a three-month full-time support role

Quality assurance and impact monitoring Teaching schools are responsible for the quality assurance of SLEs and will need to demonstrate the impact of SLE deployments on outcomes for children. For each deployment, the SLE’s school, the supported school and the teaching school will agree the scope of the work, objectives and impact measures, which will be reviewed and monitored at the end. Ultimately the SLE’s designation may be reviewed if there is a lack of evidence to demonstrate the impact of their work.
