Philippa Cordingley delivery keynote at "New Generation Leaders"
Philippa Cordingley has been invited to deliver a keynote speech at “New Generation Leaders” conference on 1st July in London. Babcock Partners in Education has organised this event in response to the governments’ plan of building more autonomous and self-sustaining school system that provides outstanding education for every child. The leadership role will become an important determinant of pupils’ success. Addressing a wide audience of headteachers, member of the senior leadership team and middle leaders at schools, Philippa will explore tools, strategies and practices that have been proven to make a difference to teaching, learning and the curriculum. There will also be a chance for questions and answers for participants to digest the presentation, consider concepts in their context and discuss with Philippa the effective ways to use the tools and evidence to enhance teaching and learning.

It has been rather a strange Spring. The lateness of Easter, the density of public holidays, and the variety of school holidays has disturbed normal working patterns and made it very busy.
CUREE’s Chief Executive recognised
Philippa has joined an illustrious group of educationalists in being awarded an honorary Fellowship by the College of Teachers at a ceremony in London on 17th May. The College is the oldest professional institute for teachers in England and holds a Royal Charter issued by Queen Victoria in 1849. Other holders of the College’s Fellowship Honoris Causa, include Mick Waters, Sir Michael Barber, HMCI Christine Gilbert CBE and Baroness Susan Greenfield.
Making it work
Next, Philippa turns to practicalities of making the EfPL approach embedded and sustainable. Key facts are time, identifying a meaningful and manageable focus and identifying high - leverage strategies as common challenges for engaging teachers in and with research. She discusses how these challenges can be addressed by schools interested in making their CPD work for staff and pupils. For example, 10 minutes of carefully planned observation can support deep learning if goals are clear and manageable.
