A presentation to the LearningFirst event at Sheffield, Hallam University on 5th November 2016. Governors (and trustees) are now firmly ensconsed in the leadership accountability system which is now a joint enterprise with heads and other senior leaders. This short presentation outlined the contradictory pressures on governors, particularly about their level of engagement with pupil performance, and what they needed to exercise their role effectively. The presentation went on to outline how National Leaders of Governance can support governing bodies in this.

Teacher Effectiveness Enhancement Programme (TEEP) Evaluation Report

CUREE evaluated the TEEP programme as offered by SSAT. Our role was to gather information on

  • How teachers are embedding and developing TEEP in the classroom.
  • How school leaders are contributing to developing the impact of the programme.
  • How learners are responding and developing positive attitudes to learning.

The overall aim was to learn from schools what their experiences have been both pre and post TEEP training, what has proven most effective and any areas where they feel TEEP support can be improved.  All schools took part voluntarily and they were assured complete confidentiality to encourage them to provide robust evidence about their involvement in the programme, its strengths and areas for development.

There's an old saying in teaching, 'Don't smile before Christmas' (meaning 'don't show your nice side before you've shown them who's boss'). But Carl Rogers' work led him to believe passionately that teachers should do precisely the opposite. He believed that teachers should seek to create emotionally warm, supportive environments in which they worked collaboratively with their students to achieve mutual goals.
