Description
Summary:Dovetailing individual CPD needs with overall school improvement can be difficult; focusing CPD on the school is an answer. CPD Leader Cynthia Francis does a sensitive but strategic job at Norbury Manor Business & Enterprise College for Girls, commented on by Vivienne Porritt of the Institute of Education. Marie Nassor was based at school for her MA on teaching and learning; we see two students she's trained to observe lessons, with NQT Navpreet Gallimore. Karen Powell's school-based MA researches her own impact on student performance as a non-teaching Head of Year; Cynthia supports her as coach, not just administrator. Head of Sixth Form Rob Bradley is on Leadership Pathways, but also benefits from Cynthia's expert coaching. Staff are in mixed co-coaching teams, too. Cynthia herself is in a team with NQT Hannah Smith and TA Anne Savage, who are being encouraged to actively critique lessons so that other staff can gain from the insights only TAs have.
