A couple of guiding principles

Recruit, Train, Develop, Retain. #ShapingCPD

1) Elmore's 2nd law: The effectiveness of teacher PD is the inverse square of its distance from the classroom.

2) The Professional Learning Razor: When reflecting on professional learning would you apply attitude X or practice Y to student learning? If you wouldn’t dream of it; don’t subject your teachers to it.

Feedback is king

All over the country classrooms have learning objectives on the board and some peer assessment, but fundamentally teachers still control the learning rather than giving pupils more active involvement.
