🧵Yesterday @researchEDBrum, @Sam_LGibbs & I shared emerging thoughts about CPD evaluation.
There will be an article in some form or another later this year (perhaps leading to further shares – the more we write the more we’ve found we want to say!)
Here's a snapshot…
1/ Image Evaluating CPD is tricky. Fuzzy feedback loops @PepsMccrea , knowing-doing gaps, multiple inputs & singular outputs, correlation & causation… We’ve a heady mix of impacts which are hard to measure &/or attribute.

A thread based on my @researchED1 talk…
“Teaching is complex. Leading is complex. Creating a CPD model which feels cohesive and uncluttered is complex – and engaging in the complexity is how we ensure it lands simply and effectively.”

Image At the centre of our CPD model are our staff&students. By shaping our priorities this way, we're more likely to be addressing areas of need as opposed to being distracted by the new/shiny. @stoneman_claire has a 🔥 presentation about the risk of not giving immersive attention.

🧵 Some thoughts on CPD, putting people first, the never-ending nature of the job... And pie charts.

Every member of staff has an entitlement to CPD, within directed time, which supports them in growing in their role.
1/ Staff also deserve to work with leaders who support them in preparing for their next steps, where that is the aspiration. Again, this needs to be built into the regular rhythm of the school, not a bolt on adding to the squeeze.

🧵A few yrs back @BeckfootTL, we identified maximising thinking & participation during questioning as a key T&L priority. We spent time considering how we might:
Strengthen questioning practice...
Support students through greater consistency...
Create a culture of no opt out.
1/ One of our T&L Teams (cross-faculty, cross-career stage volunteers with a particular interest in a current school improvement priority) took time to dig into the anatomy of core questioning strategies - Cold Call, Think-Pair-Share, Show Me Boards - & consider commonalities.
