<span>Assessment in Practice</span><br><span>Making full use of formative assessment</span>
Over the last decade we have seen a complete shift in the way schools are assessing student understanding in the classroom. Dialogue marking and a more personalised approach to assessing students’ learning is at the forefront of educational debate today. Finding a model that works for your students — and one that outlines a clear progression path to deepen their understanding of how to make progress — is at the heart of every school agenda.
This course is all about developing better assessment practices in your school and developing an assessment for learning policy that is built around embedding formative assessment. We support your move towards assessment without levels, working alongside subject leaders and staff to build an assessment model fit for purpose in all subjects and at all key stages.
Backed by leading research we support schools and teachers in developing better use of formative assessment in any subject area and offer one-on-one support for redesigning assessment practices that fit in with the new curriculums and models of learning.

<span>Teaching for Mastery through Practical Differentiation</span><br><span>Making student learning stick for all</span>
Great teachers cater for the needs of everyone. Yet differentiation is one of education’s hardest elements to implement, achievable only by adopting specific teaching techniques that embed a deep learning curriculum in the classroom. This is the route to mastery learning, which the Educational Endowment Foundation finds leads on average to an additional five months’ progress over the course of a school year compared to traditional approaches.
This training will equip you with the practical skills required to meet the demands of the ablest learners as well as maximise the progress of SEND and EAL pupils. So, not only will you acquire much greater understanding of individual learning needs, but you will discover how to create a culture of independence and which resources to use to optimise your time without compromising learning.
By applying exciting, low-prep techniques that lead to mastery learning, you will be able to tactfully challenge each pupil at an appropriate level, without resorting to numerous different lesson resources or time-consuming micro-tutorials.
<span>Winning at Differentiation</span><br><span>Practical, realistic differentiation for all</span>
How can you cater for your students’ varying needs and levels of knowledge without becoming overwhelmed by the preparation? This training will help you master the practical differentiation skills you need to teach to the top while maximising the progress of SEND and EAL pupils. During this training, you will be introduced to time-saving resources and ways of developing a culture of independence and understanding in your classroom.

Based on the latest research, Governance Leadership helps ensure best use is made of governors’ skills, and that potential gaps in a school’s future pool of expertise are addressed.As a programme, it provides governors and school leaders with a framework for acquiring new skills and building on previous good practice to help them fulfil their three core functions and all statutory requirements.
Governance Leadership leaves governors much better informed about what inspectors regard as good practice in governorship, and also fully aware of what characterises the most and least successful school governing bodies.
The course also offers practical guidance on how governing bodies can work in harmony with school leaders, while still positively challenging them to deliver optimal outcomes for the pupils in their care.
