Thinking Deeply about Primary Education

The key to effective teacher professional development

Listen Later

Episode 181: This week onThinking Deeply about Primary Education I'm joined by Nick Pointer for a thorough exploration of effective teacher professional development. As part of the chat we discuss...

  1. Your work revolves around supporting school leaders to think hard about teacher professional development - have you seen a shift in the sector in how we approach CPD over the past few years?
  2. You prefer a “mechanisms first” approach to teacher professional development - what does this entail and why not define PD by form or characteristics? (Follow-up: What are some of the benefits to school or trust leaders to taking a mechanisms-first approach?)
  3. In the case of one of the EEF’s mechanisms, goal setting, what might this approach look like on the ground?
  4. Another of the EEF’s mechanisms is rehearsal. Teacher rehearsal/deliberate practice are quite popular at the moment - is there a chance that this has already begun to mutate and can a mechanisms first approach help prevent such mutations?
  5. What do you think are the most important/and or/actionable elements of teacher professional development?

    6. ...and much, much more.
