The Superior Specialist Academic Team consultancy work is founded on research from the UK and internationally. The processes and procedures we promote are informed by best practice, current academic thought in the field of education, educational leaders, educational research and leading practitioners along with current relevant statistics. Our approach has developed educators with the philosophy “by schools, for schools” and “by teachers, for teachers”.
As a blended learning programme, participants are expected to engage in their own practice, design and deliver outcomes related to the framework provided by the course and share this with a wider network of educators. The course consists of a range of online activities, taught components, presentations, evidence collection and final submission of portfolio of the criteria. The Advanced Educator Programme is a sustainable solution to CPD and is ideal for schools that are looking to do the following:
- Develop emerging leaders of learning within the school
- Capture and celebrate outstanding practice within the school
- Foster a sense of enquiry and collaboration among stakeholders
- Create a culture of learning with the wider school community
- Enhance coaching as a tool for school improvement
Our programmes focus on the following key areas:
- Coaching to lead – How can we improve learning through coaching?
- Undertaking action research to improve specialist knowledge – How can action research foster enquiry?
- Learning communities -What does a research engaged school look like?
Practitioner enquiry – What does a reflective practitioner do?
