INTRODUCTION As a Teaching School Alliance operating in three local authorities, the RSA Academies’ TSA seeks to lead the development of staff through collaboration and high quality CPD. The opportunities provided in this booklet are led by practitioners in three Outstanding RSA Academies alongside expert strategic partners from other highly successful schools. The Teaching School Alliance has particular expertise in ‘closing the gap’ and in providing training that improves outcomes for disadvantaged students. All of our training is evaluated to ensure both value for money, and effective use of time. The feedback for the training we have facilitated since becoming a Teaching School Alliance in 2014 has been extremely positive. As a result we are now able to offer a wider range of training packages for 2017/18.

Professional Development - RQT

Aimed at Recently Qualified Teachers the RSAA Enquiry Fellowship programme uses a model of action

research. The programme will apply and securely embed academic research within the practices and

pedagogies of classroom teachers. It will empower teachers to become more professionally engaged in

wider research to improve practice in the classroom.

Process

During the Enquiry Fellowship teachers will:

Choose an area of research that is of professional interest to them

Read widely around this area in order to select a small number of texts to focus upon

Establish a methodology to evaluate the efficacy of the research

Review their experiences against the literature in a written assignment. This will be published in our

own Enquiry Fellowship Journal

Celebrate their projects with other teachers who have completed the fellowship

The process is supported by an internationally renowned research coach with a range of experience in

educational research. This support will be across two CPD days (one full day - 24th November and two

twilight sessions - February & June), and email support to ensure staff are well supported without having

substantial impact on curriculum time.

Benefits

It is a process that is beneficial to the school and the teachers who participate in the Enquiry. It ensures a

culture of research and evaluation of practices within a school environment as well as wider

dissemination of the research to the rest of the school through training opportunities. It also allows

teachers to personalise their own Continuing Professional Development and Learning and investigate

lines of enquiry that interest them. Our experience of similar action research projects has substantially

enhanced levels of retention and preparedness for promotion.

Testimonials

Our current cohort of teachers who have enrolled on the Action Research programme find it a beneficial

and productive experience. One has said that:

“It makes me reflect on my own practice and it provides me with opportunities that allow me to stretch the

learners. As teachers, we don’t always have all of the answers but we can work towards our own and the

students’ potential through research and the implementation of this within our own practice.”

Costings

£150 for alliance partners of the RSA Academies’ Teaching School.

£250 for all other schools.

Opportunity to earn Masters’ Credits (20)

We are able to offer expert colleagues to deliver bespoke CPD within schools. As schools that are

successful with high percentages of disadvantaged students, we have particular expertise in training

designed to help ‘Close the Gap’.

In 2016/17 we facilitated twilight sessions on literacy, the forgetting curve, and effective revision

strategies.

All of our sessions require colleagues to apply what they have learnt to the classroom and feedback on

the impact at a follow up session approximately 6 weeks later.

We welcome enquiries about any bespoke CPD requirements and will endeavour to help where we feel

we have the expertise, please see below for examples of packages we offer, and contact us to discuss

your requirements.

Section E: Teacher Subject Specialism

Training (TSST) Maths Brief Overview:

The course will be taught to try and develop how delegates approach and think about mathematics, encouraging them to ‘think mathematically’. Some sessions will focus explicitly on this and develop approach and pedagogy rather than content. Other sessions concentrate on particular areas which form the back-bone of mathematics teaching in a school environment, particularly for non-specialists – i.e. number and algebra. These topics are in no way suggested to be the only ‘important’ ones. But by focusing in detail on the topics of patterns, algebra and fractions, whilst continually fostering ‘mathematical thinking’, other applied topics should be able to be taught with greater confidence and success.

Facilitators:

Marc Skelton

(SLE Mathematics, Assistant Vice Principal)

Venue:

Whitley Academy, Coventry

What will you take away with you? e.g. resources, learning points etc.

RSA Academies’ Teaching School Alliance Section E: Teacher Subject Specialism

Training (TSST) Physics

Brief Overview:

This course will enhance the physics subject knowledge, pedagogy and skills of teachers by encouraging them to look at the big picture, linking and developing key ideas and concepts.

It will help delegates develop secure subject knowledge, identify common student misconceptions and effective strategies to address these, and deliver successful practical activities to help their students develop a sound understanding of fundamental concepts.

Some sessions will focus on approach and pedagogy rather than content, for example maximising learning from practical work. Other sessions concentrate on areas which form the back-bone of physics teaching in school, particularly for non-specialists, for example energy.

Facilitators:

Nicky Thomas

Venue:

RSA Academy Arrow Vale, Redditch


Non-specialists in middle schools and secondary schools teaching Key Stages up to Physics GCSE (Higher); teachers returning after a career break
