Specialist leaders of education Briefing session for potential applicants Autumn 2013 An executive agency of the Department for Education

2 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.”

3 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 recruitment, designation, brokerage and quality assurance of SLEs. The first 1,000 SLEs were designated by March 2012 and we aim to designate around 5,000 SLEs by Eventually, we plan to have up to 10,000 SLEs, ensuring national coverage.

4 “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.” SLE

5 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 is based on need and demand. Deployment types will vary. There are 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.

6 “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!” SLE

7 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 National College 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.

8 The designation process national application round – download an application form from the National College website and apply online applicants indicate which Teaching School they wish to consider their application applications will be passed to the indicated teaching school for sifting and assessment by a panel teaching schools will than invite applicants to an assessment exercise teaching schools will notify applicants of the outcome

9 Training Mandatory core day training: An introduction to school-to-school support (one day – mandatory) — to equip SLEs with the tools and techniques for effective school-to-school support — to enable SLEs to support change and ensure impact when supporting others Plus entitlement to two optional ‘enrichment’ sessions from the menu: Teaching and learning (one session) to equip SLEs with a toolkit of strategies to support and improve the quality of teaching and learning in client schools Developing self (one session) to enable SLEs to choose the right leadership style in supporting others and effectively deal with resistance Developing others (two sessions) to enable leaders to develop a culture of coaching across the school and give strategies for getting the best out of a team Managing organisation (one session) to raise awareness of key elements of how schools operate successfully

10 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, for example: –a two-day diagnostic exercise –half a day’s support each week for two terms –a three-month full-time support role

11 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.
