Employability Events 2020/21
On 21st September 2020 we held an Employability Day for those who hadn't yet secured a permanent job and were interested in learning more about what headteachers may be looking for, how to maximise job opportunities and the importance of resilience.
In the afternoon there were opportunities to partake in a great professional learning and development (PLD) session on managing attachment and trauma in a post-covid classroom or take advantage of the mock interviews and advice clinics on offer, provided by our Careers Team and some of the fantastic agencies we work closely with.
Zoom recordings for the sessions listed below are available to view on Moodle.

TeachMeets
A TeachMeet is an organised but informal meeting for teachers to share good practice, practical innovations and personal insights in teaching.
Teachers are social people, who like discussing and sharing best practice. Unfortunately, teachers also rarely have the time to do this. When training to be a teacher, you constantly pick up tips from other teachers, you have CPD opportunities and are frequently sent to events—but how do we keep sharing and learning about great practice after this?
If you’ve never been to a TeachMeet before, it is essentially local teachers getting together to share 5–7 minute teaching ideas with each other over a cup of tea and biscuits.
Getting involved in the mini-presentations also allows you to network with other teachers more easily.
What’s great about TeachMeets?
They’re full of quick snippets of ideas and you meet lots of former colleagues who are teaching in other local schools which means you ca network after the presentations. They help you to reflect on your own practice and critically engage with current pedagogical strategies.

TeachMeet 3. Catering for aspiration and inclusion.
Our third TeachMeet of the academic year was held online via Zoom on Thursday 29th April. The theme of this event was ‘Catering for aspiration and inclusion’, and we were joined by our fabulous SEND specialist, Gill Rogerson.
ECHT colleagues joined us and were asked to give a very brief presentations on an aspect of adaptive teaching in their practice, for instance, how they had managed to challenge their higher attaining pupils in a particular subject, how they are adapting their teaching to support those pupils for whom learning is a challenge.

TeachMeet 2. Working with parents to support pupils’ learning.
Our second TeachMeet of the academic year was held online via Zoom on Thursday 4th February. The theme for this event was 'Working with parents to support pupils’ learning.
Parents play a crucial role in supporting their children’s learning, and levels of parental engagement are consistently associated with better academic outcomes. Evidence from the EEF Teaching and Learning Toolkit suggests that effective parental engagement can lead to significant learning gains.
Our session began with a talk from keynote speaker, James Thompson, senior teacher at Alsop High, followed by NQTs and RQTs discussing how they have been working with parents to support pupils’ learning.

TeachMeet 1. Playing catch-up: overcoming the challenges of the missed months.
Our first TeachMeet of the academic year was held online via Zoom on Thursday 19th November. The theme for this event was 'Playing catch-up: overcoming the challenges of the missed months'
This has been a challenging year for schools, their teachers and particularly the children, who have missed months of their formal education. Not only this but many have seen at first hand the havoc that Covid 19 can have on people’s lives, and are coming to terms with social distancing in the classroom.
NQT and RQT colleagues joined us to discuss how they have welcomed the children back to school, settled them in and are now in the business of recovering those lost months.
The afternoon began with keynote talks by our friends Dr Victoria Carr, the headteacher of Woodlands Primary School and Peter Duffy, the Headteacher of Notre Dame Catholic College followed by short presentations given by our Hope NQTs and RQTs.
