Seven key principles that underpin the leadership of professional learning
|
Contributors to London’s Learning see seven main principles which underpin the leadership of professional learning:
|
|
PRINCIPLE 1: Leadership of CPD
|
The headteacher, the school leadership team and the governing body are totally committed to developing the school as a professional learning community and this commitment is distributed across all team leader roles with over all responsibility for CPD located within the school leadership team.
|
PRINCIPLE 2: CPD for all staff
|
Every member of staff is encouraged to participate in a programme of learning within a school framework and to share their learning.
|
PRINCIPLE 3: CPD, School Improvement and Performance Management
|
CPD, Performance Management and School Improvement are fully integrated.
|
PRINCIPLE 4: High quality opportunities for CPD
|
Professional development opportunities within the school’s framework are designed to be of a high quality, directly related to learning and teaching and with clearly stated outcomes.
|
PRINCIPLE 5: Partnership
|
High quality professional development opportunities within the school’s framework include partnership working wherever appropriate.
|
PRINCIPLE 6: Resources
|
Professional development opportunities within the school’s framework are appropriately resourced and managed to ensure that time, funding and people are used effectively and creatively to support learning.
|
PRINCIPLE 7: Evaluation of Impact
|
The evaluation of the impact of professional development on teaching and learning is integral to the school’s monitoring and evaluation process already in place.
