Great to work with the @CeltAcademies team last week. π 182 teachers in a group rehearsal session! Awesome energy in the room and sharp reflections from colleagues.
Weβre on an exciting journey to enhance professional development across our Trust! A huge thank you to Alex from @Steplab for modelling best practice at scale; seeing 182 teaching staff learning and rehearsing together was truly powerful. #ExceptionalEducationalExperience

If you have been following our work around mapping mental models in 1:1 coaching, this post on how I use it to support whole staff PD may be of interest π @SCottinghatt @Josh_CPD @HughesHaili @olicav @MattTeachCoach

Mapping has clear benefits for one to one coaching but I also think it has the potential to be extremely powerful for developing expertise at a whole staff professional development level.

Iβm genuinely excited about this! As a headteacher, Steplab helped me get the whole team rehearsing together each week with steps + rehearsal tasks. It made a real difference. Now the new Group PD Builder makes it even easier - a ready-to-go session in just a few clicks.
π Introducing the Group PD Builder. Running whole-group PD is tough: time-heavy, hard to plan, and often ineffective. We identified these challengesβand built the Group PD Builder, a new tool to create impactful group PD sessions in minutes. π Read more below.
