SKEIN-FE

A major technical review of international research on the impact of leadership on learner outcomes identified 5 key aspects of leaders’ roles and ranked them in order of impact (using effect size). Standing out from all the others, twice as large as the next most important, was ‘promoting and participating in teacher learning’ – as this graph shows:

CUREE’s own 15 years of conducting and analysing the research evidence has shown:

• a detailed report analysing your college’s ‘professional learning environment’ against five effectiveness areas and four benchmark levels;
• a set of findings in each areas highlighting the college’s strengths and outlining areas for improvement;
• specific recommendations and pointers to relevant resources for your action plan to make improvements;
• access to relevant online resources.

How are colleges going to rise to the challenge of making the quality of teaching and learning good or outstanding? Are you developing your staff in effective and cost efficient ways?

"It is vital that performance management leads to professional development which improves  teaching and learning. This is a challenge for organisations in all sectors and why the work  of CUREE and SKEIN is so important - tracking and reinforcing the connections between development and results across the school.”
