Building a World Class Profession
Some of the headlines linked to ensuring a world class profession as part of a future vision for educators
• Accountability is about outcomes not methods• Teachers should be able to innovate and build their own
strategies in order to ensure pupils achieve their full potential• The promotion of a self – improving school led system • Multi academy trusts will be made accountable for their
performance• Networks to promote school to school support and local

Are you listening carefully?
Research suggests that we only hear 40% of
what we are listening to?
How much passive listening takes place in your day to day interaction with learners,
peers or colleagues?
How do you learn?
Research suggests that deep learning is much more likely when learners understand
how they learn
To what extent is the emphasis on what is to be taught rather than what and how well
the recipient learns?
How do you know learning is taking place?
Research suggests that learning requires the active and constructive involvement of
the learner
How much discussion, collaboration, sharing and verbalising of goals and ideas is
a distinct part of the learning process in your day to day working life?
How do you encourage participation and collaborative learning?
Research suggests that where learners
work together there is a deeper understanding of how they can overcome barriers to learning and manage change
effectively
How is outstanding learning and teaching modelled, shared and disseminated so that
there is a deep understanding and consensus of what works well. How does
collaborative learning create opportunities for innovation?
How is reflection used to allow learners to grow and achieve their full potential
Research suggests that learners need to know how to plan and monitor their own learning and set their own learning goals in order that they can reflect on their successes, strengths and gaps in their learning
and then plan the next steps
What opportunities are there for learners to reflect with others on how they solved a problem,
developed a new strategy or made a successful change in order to evaluate progress and set new
learning goals and targets?
Professional development, reflection and learning
Developing a coaching culture
Learning the skills of
powerful questioning,
active listening and the ability
to influence others to change
Creating opportunities for reflective
learning conversations to
take place
Promoting the sharing and cascading of
good and outstanding
practice
Build on the positives and
celebrate outstanding teaching and
learning
CPD and the future• Educators need to believe in the value of their professional status
and their contribution to the success of this country• Teachers and their leaders are influential in the education of all
other professionals • The teaching profession is currently the only profession that does
not have a mandatory responsibility for their own professional development in order to retain their status
• There are significant and well researched opportunities to develop a model of self sustaining, cost effective CPD linked to coaching and reflective practice that will build a more motivated and informed profession
• Success is built on a culture of positive change, the sharing and cascading of good and outstanding practice and opportunities for self-evaluation
