This report is part of school-based enquiry completed by teaching schools during 2012 to 2014. It looks at the following themes:
- Theme 1: what makes great pedagogy?
- Theme 2: what makes great professional development which leads to consistently great pedagogy?
- Theme 3: how can leaders lead successful teaching school alliances which enable the development of consistently great pedagogy?
It highlights that in alliances or partnerships, pedagogy, professional development and leadership within and across alliances go hand-in-hand. They are mutually influential and interdependent.
It looks at how to:
- ensure great pedagogy
- embed great pedagogy in professional development and leadership within and across alliances
- support and develop peers’ learning
- be flexible and adaptable
The report shows the benefits of working with others on research and possible solutions to overcome the challenges.
