POWERFUL PROFESSIONAL LEARNING HELPING YOUNG PEOPLE TO SUCCEED, AND HELPING US TO THRIVE NTEN National Teacher Enquiry Network

SCHOOL PROFESSIONALS ARE AMAZING… Awareness of effective ideas, techniques and approaches Ability to recognise/ diagnose suitability of approaches, and when they are not working Fluency - instinctive recall and use of appropriate techniques Systematic and sustained use of approaches Understanding of underlying theory - solid conceptual understanding Ability to adapt, vary, combine and refine approaches Ability to reflect on (and assess) own learning progress Recognition of student behaviours and patterns of likely future behaviour Increasing emotional self-regulation

WHY DOES PROFESSIONAL LEARNING MATTER? Source: Sutton Trust (2011)

WHAT CAN GREAT PROFESSIONAL LEARNING DO… … for teachers? Confidence Self - Efficacy Enjoyment Change - maker Change enthusiasm … for students? OutcomesEngagementConfidenceFluency Gap - closing

QUESTIONS  How many of you have spent time trying to improve your teaching?  How many of you have been on courses to improve your teaching?  How many of you have read printed advice/books to improve your teaching?

THE CULTURE WE ALL WORK IN “Teachers described CPD activities […] primarily delivered through lectures, presentations and discussion. Teachers reported little active learning.” (Opfer et. al. for TDA, 2008)

QUESTIONS  How many people have ever watched a TV programme about diet/eating?  Keep your hands up if the programme made you aware of some new information  Keep your hands up if that TV programme (not something else) caused you to change your eating habits sustainably and successfully

CHANGING HABITS IS HARD Not sufficient One-off courses Lectures Printed guidance Discussion

LEARNING HAPPENS  When we are motivated to pay attention  When we are motivated to remain resilient and put in the time and effort to reflect, practice, seek new knowledge  When we have the opportunity to connect new learning, skill and theory to existing experience

Collaborative Focused on valued outcomes for pupils Practical and theoretical Sustained ( hrs) Draws on external expertise Evaluated and monitored Challenging POWERFUL PROFESSIONAL LEARNING IS…

REFLECTION  What professional learning did you do over the last 3 years that had the most beneficial impact on you and your students?  How did you know?

NTEN National Teacher Enquiry Network CPD Quality Peer Audit Peer-to-peer support Support for R&D + closing the gap NTEN Lesson Study National & Local Events A powerful voice

NTEN Lesson Study 1.Teacher-led, evidence-informed professional development 2.Strong collaborative and supportive focus on observing pupil learning 3.Absolutely not: performance- management style observations and Ofsted judgements.

LESSON STUDY 1. Plan Plan a lesson together. Address each activity to your Learning Goal and predict how pupils will react and how you will assess this. Pick 2 or 3 case pupils. 3. Reflect & Plan As soon after the lesson as possible, reflect how each activity elicited the sought-after change. Were your predictions correct? Why? 2. Observe Teach the lesson with your colleagues observing. Pay particular attention to the case pupils Conduct any assessments and/or interviews during & after.

Supporting teachers to become reflective practitioners, who evaluate their practice with a pupil focus. Helping teachers to embed and contextualise new research and best practice into their schools and classrooms.

LESSON STUDY…  “My colleagues understand this is nothing to do with observation grades. It's taken the pressure off everyone planning by themselves. It's a really supportive way to work together and develop our practice”  “A girl who’d almost never existed for me in my PE lesson is now loving her lessons – she’s even started coming to athletics club after school”

WHAT HAVE OTHER TEACHERS SAID ABOUT IT? “The benefit of lesson study is not restricted to the outcome, it’s in the process that you have gone through as a reflective practitioner to how that is going to enhance your teaching in the future.” “There is much less pressure on the teacher whose students are being observed and it’s all about the learning. They have welcomed the chance to talk about challenges in teaching and learning, alongside looking at recent research and development” “It is no exaggeration to say that, for me, it is one of the most interesting CPD activities I’ve ever done. I can see this becoming a popular, teacher-driven activity that is highly cost-effective.”

Teachers of the same (or similar) class, different subjects Teachers of the same subject, same year group Teachers of the same subject, different year groups Cross-curricular, same year (incl. pastoral) Cross-curricular, different year

NTEN National Teacher Enquiry Network Diagnosis stage - Observing/ interviewing pupils - Really analyse the ‘issue’ - Take a baseline Research an intervention - Find an evidence- informed intervention to try out and develop in your classroom Embed and refine the intervention in your class - Plan intervention - Measure impact - Refine process - Take post-test

RESEARCH & EVALUATION  What can we find out about how our students are learning?  What can we find out about the most suitable strategies?  How might we best evaluate the progress they are making?

USE AND UNDERSTAND THE EVIDENCE  Read and share research widely – e.g. Hattie – Visible Learning, EEF T&L Toolkit, Muijs & Reynolds – Effective Teaching  Be critical consumers, learn the detail, seek criticism  Look for high value, efficient approaches  Revisit theory constantly – deepen, debate, discuss  culture shift
