 Hi everyone Ross here at Teacher Talker. I thought I'd offer a video with this resource to help you best understand it. I've led hundreds and hundreds of teacher training events in my career as well as now professionally. And if you're a school or college leader watching I suspect you have your own methodology so I hope I can offer some new ideas. For all teachers at some stage in your career you have to go and lead a training event for other teachers and it's a bit of a nerve-wracking experience for some. So what's the thinking process? All the logistical things that change your effectiveness of the teacher training session are all at play. So let me just put my slide up here for you and hope this helps. I'll just walk you through it in a short little video. So five minute thinking framework he says let's just check the time five minutes here we go. So the logistical stuff first of all, what's the event? When? Where's it going to take place? Who needs to be? Who's leading the event? Who needs to know? When do they need to know the preparation in advance? The month before? The week before? The day before? The practical side of things setting up the room etc and all the people involved on the front end delivery as well as behind the scenes. Time ins during the day at the end of the day after a five period day, a twilight, a Saturday event or a full-in set day for five hours. All these things are at play. The number of people in the whole sessions, individual sessions, different rooms, lots of different factors to consider. And slides now if we've got a 30 minute session and I'm presenting you know that fearful just someone at the front going through 100 slides. Well, if I've only got 30 minutes and you can see the presentations got 100 slides then your alarm bells should start ringing. So I know when I've hosted CPD events in schools when I have other teachers presenting the first thing I look at is the time that they have. The first is the number of slides that they're going to present. And me also going through this step by step. It's a great dual coding strategy. One small thing at a time, rather than everything all at once. And at the bottom of the logistics of the room, the layout, the positioning, the lighting, the sound, the connectivity, testing, testing, testing. Is there a school bell going to go off behind the scenes? I know on inset days sometimes there's building work taking place. The first thing I do as a visiting speaker is always ask the leadership team to make sure that's not happening if I arrive and I can hear it because you want people to enjoy the event and fill information to be heard and of value. Staff and student needs, what impact do we want in classrooms the next day for staff, for support staff, teaching staff and our children. And then the resources. We all like some resources we can go off and play with in the classrooms the next day. You've got to factor in the printing, the logistics, the costs with all of that. So there's your logistical side. Let's go to the strategy. What is it? How is it fit? How is it communicated? You know, we don't want a kind of bolt on tick list type of event. This has to be a long term solution. Think about the outcomes for the day. My focus always you'll know is the stick ability factor. What do you want people to take away? What point is the follow up so that outcomes and evaluation needs to be factoring. If you want CPD to be of value, you know that one size fits all one size fits one person, not everyone. So how do you deliver whole staff content and provide opportunities for people playing small groups, share bring things back. So without going into all the kind of pros and cons of brilliant CPD, something to consider, and then have a plan B. So what if it all goes wrong? Fire alarm, those types of things. So there's the blank template. Hope you find it of use. If you're new to leading staff CPD, how are you going to make a difference to the lives of other teachers? Hope you enjoy. Let me know how you get on. And thanks for watching this and thanks for using the website.
