Welcome
from Esther Cook, Director
Dear Colleagues,
As we rapidly move towards Christmas, the various elements of our offer have continued to grow and develop in breadth and depth. We are incredibly grateful to school leaders across the region who have given their time to ensure that colleagues are able to access the benefits which our fully funded, evidence led programmes have to offer. It has been really exciting to see the progress colleagues are making through the ECF programme and to start to welcome you all to face to face events. Our NPQ Induction events have also been very well received and we eagerly anticipate hearing the impact of these programmes as first delivery begins.
As we come to the latter part of term, we will embark on the first round of progress reviews with our ECTs. We look forward to working on this activity with our partners and to hearing your feedback on the process.
As we embed our core activities, we are grateful for the framework provided by our vision and values. As we together implement these evidence based opportunities I would reflect on our shared commitment to embrace research led practice. Of particular note in the past few weeks has been the distribution of this report, published by the EEF on Effective Professional Development. As its forward sets out, it “provides a new guiding set of principles to ensure that PD is as effective as possible in order to improve pupil outcomes.” This mandate is at the heart of our practice.
Please do stay in touch, your feedback is essential in ensuring we continue to fully support you and together meet our shared aims to positively shape the lives of the learners in our care.
Very best wishes,
Esther Cook - Hub Director, Thames Gateway TSH
