Make a difference this Tuesday...
The TDA South West Regional Centre successfully ran the 'Developing the workforce for the 21st Century School Community' event in Exeter on 12th November with a full house of delegates.
"Promoting and participating in professional learning and development has a direct effect. The leaders that promote and participate are those that are having most success in raising the outcomes for children and young people." Liz Francis.
There were three eminent key speakers, Liz Francis -TDA Director of Workforce Strategy, Mark Orrow-Whiting who is Programme lead at QCDA, and David Hopkins, Professor Emeritus at the Institute of Education, University of London. Creative facilitation came from our regional Programme Lead, Kevin Feaviour, and the regional advisers - David Hobbs, Vince Stroud and Sue Mogg, and Sybille Schiffman.
There was also a special appearance from young 'Nico' who talked about his learning difficulties, and Stephen Beety from Devon and Cornwall Police who brought together the days events with a poignant video of a ballet dancer overcoming subversity, and a proposition to all delegates to 'make a difference' every tuesday.
Delegates were keen to leave the conference with steps to begin creating a culture of learning and development in their field, delegates contributed how they intended to 'make a difference Tuesday'.
Reflective Messages on CPD:
We all need each other to succeed.
We not me.
CPD is critical if we are to create a 21st Century school community.
Greater flexibility for frontline staff, empowered to lead change.
Success is accessing and using all available community resources.
CPD makes sense, what is it's evidence of impact?
Local solutions and local communities
CPD is critical if we are to achieve better outcomes for all
What does it mean for me, for children, for localities
Why CPD?
“The answer is not teachers, it’s not schools, not doing more of the same, it’s about the whole public sector, everyone in this room, not just education.” Professor David Hopkins
"The power of people, it’s all our responsibility for professional development
and learning into the future." Vince Stroud - South West Regional Adviser
