When Do School Leaders Promote Professional Learning and
Development?
• Formal professional development “events”
• Conversations throughout the school day– Staff meetings focused on PL– Analysing student learning– Addressing difficult issues by focusing on
teaching and learning interactions– Analysis of leadership and teaching practice

The Evidence Base
![Page 5: School Leaders Shaping Professional and Student Learning AIS Executive Conference October 2011 Professor Helen Timperley The University of Auckland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b40d65503465c7e8b5160/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Evidence Base in Practice: Professional Development Project
in LiteracyOver 300 primary schools in New Zealand
Writing: Average gains 2.5 to 3.2 expected rate over two years
Lowest 20% 5-6 times expected rate
Reading: Average gains 1.5 to 1.9 expected rate over two years
Lowest 20% 3 times expected rate.
Sustained over the three year monitoring period

Identifying Students’ Knowledge and Skills
• What do the students already know?
• What sources of evidence have we used?
• What do they need to learn and do?
• How do we build on what they know?
![Page 9: School Leaders Shaping Professional and Student Learning AIS Executive Conference October 2011 Professor Helen Timperley The University of Auckland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b40d65503465c7e8b5160/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Within the LPDP Project
• Students assessed using curriculum-based assessment (gives a focus, provides diagnostic information and a baseline for assessing improvement)
• Facilitated interpretation of how to score it and what the results mean with teachers and leaders

Finding Out about Teachers’ Knowledge and Practice
Investigate together:• How we have contributed to existing student
outcomes?• What do we already know that we can use to
promote improved outcomes for students?• What do we need to learn and do to promote
these outcomes?• What sources of evidence / knowledge can we
use?

Within the LPDP Project
With expert facilitators, the leaders and teachers:– Related student data to programme emphases;– Responded to a scenario of (mostly ineffective)
practice and discussed ratings;– Discussed strengths and weaknesses of practice
from classroom observations– Set personal professional learning goals

Deepen Professional Knowledge and Refine Skills
Important considerations:• Base it on first two parts of the cycle (creates the
“need to know”)
• Consider research findings about different approaches with a track record of what works

Teachers make the difference
But they cannot do it alone
![Page 18: School Leaders Shaping Professional and Student Learning AIS Executive Conference October 2011 Professor Helen Timperley The University of Auckland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b40d65503465c7e8b5160/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Beliefs, knowledge and Skills of School Leaders
• To lead effectively, leaders must know enough to:– Work through the inquiry and knowledge
building cycles with their teachers to improve outcomes in relation to your SIP goals
![Page 19: School Leaders Shaping Professional and Student Learning AIS Executive Conference October 2011 Professor Helen Timperley The University of Auckland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b40d65503465c7e8b5160/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Deepen professional knowledge, engage
students in new learning experiences
What has been the impact of our changed
actions?
How can we as leaders promote
the learning of our teachers to bridge
the gap for our students?
What knowledge and skills do our students need?
What knowledge and skills do we as
teachers need?

All pedagogical leaders have a class
• Who is your class?
• Who is the class of others in the schools you lead?

A more collegial structure
![Page 24: School Leaders Shaping Professional and Student Learning AIS Executive Conference October 2011 Professor Helen Timperley The University of Auckland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b40d65503465c7e8b5160/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Task for you• Identify your class (as a leader)
• Draw a diagram of layers of classes for you and members of your class
• Identify what each class needs to learn to improve
• Think about some challenges you are likely to face in working with your class
![Page 25: School Leaders Shaping Professional and Student Learning AIS Executive Conference October 2011 Professor Helen Timperley The University of Auckland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b40d65503465c7e8b5160/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Within the LPDP
• Effective leaders – Used outside experts to help them to learn
how to work with their teachers using evidence of student learning and teaching practice
– Recognised their need to learn in order to teach others
• Less effective leaders– Focused on structures and processes to
promote others’ learning
![Page 26: School Leaders Shaping Professional and Student Learning AIS Executive Conference October 2011 Professor Helen Timperley The University of Auckland.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551b40d65503465c7e8b5160/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What knowledge and skills does
“my class” already have and
need?What knowledge and skills do I as
leader need?
What has been the impact of my changed actions on “my class”?
Deepen leader knowledge and
refine leadership skills
Engage “my class” in new learning experiences

outcomes
