SESSION 1

Systems

David will:

• Explore the metaphor of the journey as it applies to school and system improvement and argue for the importance of narrative in initiating and sustaining change.

• Sketch out the big picture of school and system improvement and present a model for school improvement that works from the “inside-out”.

• Describe the four phases of the school improvement pathway that through the use of diagnostics and key questions ensure that all schools are on a journey towards excellence.

SESSION 2

Teaching

David will:

• Make an argument for placing “curiosity” at the heart of learning and teaching excellence.

• Following the traditions of good science in working from observations of teaching develop a series of theories of actions for teaching and learning and explore their value in practice.

• Describe how to develop an infrastructure within the school for developing intrinsic motivation among teachers.

SESSION 3

Leadership

David will:

• Present a practical and generic model of school leadership that is consistent with the best of global practice.

• Explore in detail the concept of ‘instructional leadership’ as a generic leadership strategy.
