Good morning!

We want to hear from you!

As well as the usual events and opportunities, this week's newsletter is a little more interactive...we would like your feedback. Exceed Teaching School Hub - a school-led organisation - strives to support schools and trusts to invest in their workforce: to grow, recruit, develop and retain the very best teachers, support staff and leaders. Since September 2021, we've begun delivery of the Early Career Teachers programme, National Professional Qualifications, an Appropriate Body service, and a wealth of Opportunity Area funded programmes. Our Continuous Improvement Plan captures our reflections how successes and areas for development. We would welcome feedback from everyone that has engaged with us.

We've created a short online survey to capture this. We would appreciate you taking two minutes to provide us with feedback on your engagement with us to date. Thank you in advance.

Today's newsletter also provides content from our Teacher Development Network blogs, including Emma's video exploring the new EEF guidance report 'Effective Professional Development' in the context of the ECT programme and NPQ. In addition, we've created a presentation outlining some implications of the ITT market review on teacher development.

Best wishes

Paul

Exceed Teaching School Hub, led by Copthorne Primary School and Exceed Academies Trust, has a leading role in signposting and delivering teacher development support to all 215 Bradford schools and our partners in other regions wishing to access support from Bradford Teaching School Hub.

The Hub helps to fulfil one of Exceed Academies Trust's ethical goals: to contribute to system-wide improvements in education.

Designated by the Department for Education (DfE) in February 2020, Exceed Teaching School Hub’s core functions support schools and trusts to invest in their workforce to grow, recruit, develop and retain the very best teachers, support staff and leaders. We will achieve this through a place-based approach to signposting and delivering high-quality progressive teacher development programmes that complement the internal support provided by schools and trusts. Our vision acknowledges teacher and leadership development are two of the most important forms of school improvement. We will achieve this by enhancing partnership working with schools, trusts and high-quality providers; improving the communication of opportunities with the workforce; introducing new professional learning opportunities; supporting teachers and leaders to make informed choices when selecting continuous professional development (CPD) and support, and ensuring that no school is left behind.
