Our Mentoring and Coaching programme

• The programme, Strategic CPD using mentoring and
  coaching to create an infrastructure for school
  development and student achievement will be
  offered initially to the 6 secondary schools,
  (involving the 30 primary schools at a later
  date), ideally in late Spring or early Summer
  term. It will comprise
• a 24 hour residential for up to 50 delegates
• a one day follow up session after an agreed
  period of elapsed time and
• in school development work between sessions, co
  constructed at the residential and supported by
• telephone and/or email support from CUREE between
  the two sessions and
• exploration of the possibilities for e coaching

9
Themes and purposes

• Two themes Performance Management and CPD
  Leadership. Both themes will draw upon the new
  professional standards for teachers, the new
  performance management arrangements and the
  National Framework for Mentoring and Coaching.
• These themes will provide a frame of reference
  for developing systematic CPD strategies known
  to be linked with improved learning outcomes for
  adults and young people in schools.

10
Goals

• We will engage schools actively in
• Reviewing how CPD is experienced currently
• Diagnosing specifically the aspects of CPD and
  mentoring and coaching that would be most
  supportive to current school priorities
• Building awareness of current related activities
  and skills.
