Had such a great day with our Primary Heads we heard from Lesley Powell from the North East Learning Trust about being an authentic leader and had some great conversations about a coaching culture. Can’t wait for day 2 tomorrow!

This afternoon kicks off our Term 1 feedback forums for ECTs, Mentors and Induction Tutors with our ECT group. Great to hear how well the @NIOT ECF is supporting our ECT cohort - bitesize videos were a big hit! #weareEACT

Key messages from my #rED24 talk yesterday. 1.Few things done well > lots of things done badly 2.Know what and who you are designing for. 3. Beware shiny things and ‘quick wins’ I don’t have a blog or website so full slides can be found on my LinkedIn.

Session 5- coaching, communities and consistency with @siobhanMered really interesting to hear about how coaching and practice is working with ECTs around professionalism and relationships

Kay Shepherd @kayshepherd.bsky.social · 07/09/2024

Session 4 looking at why data matters. Really making me reflect on how I can best use data to map professional learning as teachers impact the ‘data’ of pupils in different ways. They make progress in the classroom themselves at different rates. Does great data mean great teaching?!

Kay Shepherd @kayshepherd.bsky.social · 07/09/2024

Session 2 #rED24 Josh Goodrich, and Jon Gilbert. Making tacit knowledge explicit- removing luck and chance from developing expertise. Thinking about how to get our expert teachers to unpack and explain their craft.

Kay Shepherd @kayshepherd.bsky.social · 07/09/2024

Starting off my #rED24 day with @profcoe.bsky.social ‘why we need feedback more than we think’ huge implications for judging teaching and learning from lesson obs and self reflection. “Using video is the most powerful tool when getting a reality check.”

Kay Shepherd @kayshepherd.bsky.social · 07/09/2024

Early train but excited to be speaking at #rED24 today. Session 6 -Thinking about why sometimes professional development doesn’t quite hit the mark. Come say hi 👋

Happy Wednesday. Excited to be on route to Birmingham for E-ACT Primary strategy day. Just KNOW my shoes will give me blisters - but kind of obsessed so wearing them anyway.

What a list!! I’ll be in K28 at the end of the day. Glad I’m in the last session - it will really let the imposter syndrome build up throughout the day 😂.

When we are scared of failing - “ we find ourselves slowly descending into safe mediocrity rather than striving for excellence.” A really interesting piece www.linkedin.com/posts/jade-g...

My favourite: “if you don’t know where you’re going, you might wind up someplace else”. Relatable to both the classroom but also so many endeavours we undertake in school, including professional learning.

At #rED24 I’ll be talking about why CPD doesn’t work - and how to fix it. Come say hi 👋

My 4yos first day of school today ❤️ “Was your teacher nice?” “Yes. But I didn’t respect her” Thought this was exceptionally harsh feedback until I released she didn’t *expect* her - she met a different teacher on transition.

I think it is a real mix to be honest, depending on experience of both line managing and coaching in the past. In any case I would start with a contracting session to go through the expectations of a coaching conversation from both parties.

I’m looking forward to bringing more coaching skills into line management this year. This is one of my favourite ways to start a conversation with anyone starting a new role or project this year.

Having a fab day at E-Acts induction day 3 for overseas teachers. Starting the day with thinking about SEND and teaching all learners - then I’m up this afternoon with instructional coaching and T&L. Such an amazing group!!

Thinking about reviewing CPD plans and going right back to basics to start. 1 for column A, 1 from column B then answer “the big 3”
