Effective Mentoring and Coaching Testimonials

Taking Hold

  • The beauty of this pack…and the others presumably in the series…is that not only does it have useful content for a school-based mentor or coach with regard to their own CPD, it equips the teacher to organise workshops relating to CPD for other colleagues.
  • The pack will provide the CPD coordinator with high-quality up-to-date materials in one place. The toolkit will enable them to construct a development programme tailored to the needs of their own school.
  • This is an outstanding resource.

Narrowing the Gap for the National College

CUREE was commissioned by the National College to work on the ‘Leadership for Narrowing the Gap’ project in which 160 clusters engaged between 2008 and 2010. During the second year of this successful collaborative enquiry initiative, groups from across the country undertook enquiries into effective actions to reduce a variety of gaps caused by socio-economic status, ethnicity, transition stage, etc.

CUREE visit Hong Kong

In June 2008 CUREE’s chief executive Philippa Cordingley and managing director Paul Crisp visited a school in Hong Kong in a visit coordinated by the British Council.

During the visit, a mini-conference was held so that ideas on various educational topics could be exchanged. Topics included developing high-efficiency staff development periods, applying research-based learning to Liberal Studies’ topics, how research-based learning promoted students’ learning in neuroscience and what a school-based biotechnology curriculum was. At the start of the conference, three student representatives shared their learning experience in the school.
