What is I2T?

What is inspire2teach? Where are its origins from?

The training / coaching framework originated from whole school Academy based coaching programme.

This was initially developed to improve teaching standards from RI to Good.

Inspire2teach as a brand was formed from an programme of support and coaching that existed within St Augustine Academy. This coaching format was developed over a period of four years, working with colleagues to improve standards of teaching from RI to Good. The Woodard Trust, the corporation sponsor for the Academy two years ago approached all Woodard schools offering a grant to create a hub for teaching and learning around a central theme / idea. As an Academy we submitted a proposal based on the following (next slide) 3

An educational charity tasked with extending education in accordance with the principles of the Church.The Woodard Hub will provide a holistic coaching programme, with the aim to transform the unique potential of each trainee to drive up student progression within the Woodard family and beyond . This inclusive approach is the Woodard way.

A family of schools: by sharing practice and doing things together we become more effective and efficient.The Woodard Hub will become a centre of shared excellence. Initially the Academy and its partners will lead the training programmes, with the vision to increase collaboration, celebrate and recognise best practice in the Woodard family.

Working with the community promoting the use of the resources of Woodard schools.The Woodard Hub will be an innovative forward -thinking environment in a dedicated space, within the Academy. Key Woodard, educational and community partners would be able to utilise this shared area.

This was also our Woodard Hub Misson statement linked closely to the Church of England Ethos that our Academy up holds. Unfortunately after our proposal was submitted we were not chosen to be supported in creating our vision / branded Woodard hub as the corporation felt that our suggested link partner companies6

I2T Current Coaching Team

The current team at Inspire2teach is small consisting of three main key people. Myself, director of training and main coaching partner / facilitator and my two coaching improvement partners.

More recently I have been in discussion with Mike Fleetham regarding his input into the I2T training programme and visa versa my input in his work. This is an ongoing development which will be continuing to be worked on over the next few months and which I will mentioned again a little later in more detail. 9

As part of the hub initial application we identified three partner schools who would be willing to work with us on developing the coaching programme. Alongside this I approached Alistair with the proposal that IRIS would be a beneficial partner for us in our initial pilot. From the the FOXFORD pilot was born.
