Appendix 4 WTSA Terms and Conditions Introduction Specialist Leaders of Education (SLEs) have a significant role to play in raising standards in our schools. The following information seeks to clarify the systems and protocols between a School requesting support and Wednesbury Teaching School Alliance for the deployment of SLEs and evaluations of their work. The lead school is Harvills Hawthorn Primary School which is proud to be recognised as a National Teaching School and has also been deemed 'outstanding' in its last two Ofsted inspections. Within the Wednesbury Learning Community Trust there are currently 12 primary schools, and a further 8 primary schools have joined our Teaching School Alliance for Continuing Professional Development. Our website http://www.wednesburyteachingschoolalliance.co.uk gives more detail of the work of Wednesbury Teaching School Alliance (WTSA).
SLE Handbook Page 2
What are Specialist Leaders of Education (SLE)? SLEs are experienced middle or senior leaders who are interested in supporting leaders in other schools. Many SLEs combine their outreach role with a leadership role in their own schools. This is one of the strengths of the SLE programme as it is essential that those being coached know that the SLEs are also practitioners. They know what they are talking about because they are successful in their own school. SLEs complete the mandatory core training requirements by the National College. Wednesbury Teaching School Alliance currently has 12 designated SLEs, who are supporting a number of schools in the West Midlands region. Types of SLE Deployment Short term deployment (1- 4 days), e.g. one INSET day, objectives are agreed by completing the SLE Deployment Form prior to deployment. Longer term support (5 – 10 days), e.g. 5 days over 5 month period, a SLE Action Plan will be agreed in a face-to-face meeting prior to work commencing. All deployment is subject to Wednesbury Teaching School Alliance Terms and Conditions.
SLE Handbook Page 3
SLE Deployment Process Any school seeking support of SLE must in the first instance contact Wednesbury Teaching School Alliance. The deployment will then be agreed between the school to be supported and the SLE home school. Tel: 0121 557 1034 or email: teaching.school@harvillshawthorn.sandwell.sch.uk The Teaching School will match the SLE with the appropriate area of expertise and capacity to offer support. The SLE and the School to be supported will agree the focus of work and outline specific objectives, expectations for outcomes and impact, length and frequency of support. Deployment commences and is reviewed in the format agreed by Wednesbury Teaching School Alliance, the School being supported and the SLE. The Teaching School will:
• Provide effective communication channels. • Maintain an accurate database of SLE expertise. • Match school requests to SLE expertise. • Maintain accurate records of deployment and evaluations. • Provide SLE support and professional development.
Quality Assurance All SLE deployments will be subject to evaluations by the supported school. Evaluations will rate progress against agreed targets. Wednesbury Teaching School Alliance review the feedback, impact and quality of support provided after each deployment. Cost of SLE Deployment Cost of a SLE is £400 full day; £250 half day; and £200 twilight session.
