CPD is vital when looking to consistently improve the quality of Teaching & Learning. At RVHS, we believe that good ideas should be shared; especially when they can have such a big impact on our students learning & progress. We structure our CPD around three different processes:
Team Processes:
With a Curriculum-specific focus- curriculum design, assessment & teaching techniques. Adopting team culture, shared language, common understanding & goals.
Individual Processes:
With individual teachers engaged in a responsive process of reflection & practise. Self-directed engagement with research, engagement in coaching cycles, the Acting Up Programme and other CPD opportunities.
Whole School Processes:
Our whole school Teaching & Learning Priorities for This Academic Year:
To embed our ACED framework into all of our curriculum areas & schemes of learning.
To utilise retrieval practise tools, revision techniques & successful study routines within curriculum planning to support students to ‘close the gap’ and consolidate their subject knowledge across the curriculum.
To embed a successful coaching programme, whereby all teachers regularly receive good quality feedback on their teaching to offer continual professional development and a chance to continuously share ideas. Within this, we will further enhance our specific CPD pathways; new middle leaders programme, AAHT secondment roles, Acting up programme etc.
To enhance our teaching practice via our digital strategy; to embed our digital learning weeks and increase teacher’s confidence in utilising technology in the classroom to support learning. This will continue to build upon the skills developed during lockdown teaching.
To focus on our disadvantaged learners to provide them with the tools to learn successfully across all subject areas and increase their cultural capital. We will also continue to drive forward and enhance our successful literacy initiatives; DEAR time, DEAW time, C&C reading, WotW & Star writer award.
Our whole school ‘student personal development’ priorities for this academic year:
To embed and extend the personal development curriculum to incorporate character and culture, rhse, mh & smsc programme.
To implement a successful training programme for all of our staff that deliver our personal development curriculum successfully
