Aiming for Outstanding in the Foundation Stage (2)
a repeat of the popular course from 1/2/16
A one day course for Early Years practitioners, Early Years teachers, head teachers, teachers and teaching assistants.
"A key difference between being a good school and being an outstanding school involves going beyond tight quality controls towards the quality assurance of a self-confident, self-critical community in which learning is interactive and permanent."
(CfBT: To the next level: good schools becoming outstanding: 2014)
"School readiness has been linked with positive social and behavioural competencies in adulthood as well as improved academic outcomes in primary and secondary school, both in terms of equity and performance."
(UNICEF 2012)
We will focus on:
- What does ‘outstanding’ look like?
- Creating a shared vision, and the significance of shared understandings and team work
- Building a learning community: passionate, reflective teachers: challenged motivated learners: an inspiring, creative curriculum ; dynamic self-evaluation.
- Parents as partners and the vital significance of home learning.
- Quality assurance: monitoring teaching, learning and progress;, effective feedback; using data and developing leadership at all levels.
- Governance: the importance of strategic direction, accountability and financial oversight.
- Leadership: What sort of people are outstanding leaders? What do they do? How do they do it?
Characteristics of Effective learning will be woven throughout the content of this course.
