 eight steps to move away from monitoring teachers towards developing them, inspired by a blog written by Paul Ainsworth and mirrors much of the work that I do in the teaching and learning profession. Number one, teaching and learning policy. Don't call it a policy, it's a CPD guidance, it's a feedback script, whatever you want to do. It's not a statutory document but certainly something you need to design with your teachers and have so there's some clarity. Number two, important to identify who's the lead person to drive the strategy. This person doesn't have all the answers but at least the whole staff know who's driving the strategy. Number three, all colleagues are involved, everybody, even the cynical teacher, even the teacher who's been teaching one week or the teacher's been teaching 40 years. Great expression from my old former head teacher at Alex Atherton, power from the floor. All teachers have that voice and their voices and ideas are heard. Four, focus on the most important change. Marking is the number one issue that drives teachers crazy. Recovery curriculum planning seems to be with online delivery at the moment. If you're looking to develop your school teaching and learning policy, focus on the most important change. Number five, data is important but what we need to do is make sure teachers are confident with their delivery, they have a secure overview of the children in front of them, they know how to provide assessment on their feet through questioning, through feedback and teaching starts to come to the fore. Number six, in your conversations with colleagues, supporting challenges are critical. Do you open a school where you can take risks, your voices are heard, you can provide feedback without fear of retribution. Number seven, do you have an open door classroom culture? Do you come and watch Ross teach a car crash lesson rather than a shiny lesson and all Ross's books are marked and now I feel worse. We should share our car crash moments more often with one another and that's the kind of school I'd like to work in. Finally, coaching, whatever your views if you've not yet discovered coaching, it's the number one thing to drive improvement in other people. Make sure you introduce coaching into your teaching and learning culture and you're going to start to do this.
