• Understand:
• The importance of vision: ‘Where are you
heading to?’
• The power of shared ownership
• Identify:
• Strategies for beginning to ‘close the gap’
• Ways to reduce inconsistency leading to
less variability in your areas

3. ‘Visioning:’ imagine a
world in which there are no
restraints.
Create a visualisation of the
area that you are
responsible for – what will it
look like in 3 years?

4. What is our learning vision?
How to create a
consensus?
How to ensure application
of principles?
How to ensure common
understanding?
How to monitor application
of aspiration to
experience?
Group task: (Governor meets Headteacher & SLT members)

aspiration into experience to the Governors of our school.

5. Variability of standards in the UK

7. Do you recognise the issue of
inconsistency in your own
school and setting? Discuss

8. The power of
shared ownership

9. Shared understanding of principles underpinning effective T&L
• None of us would trust a doctor who had
limited knowledge of human physiology, a pilot
who was not aware of the basic laws of
physics!
• Teachers must be able to root their teaching
strategies in models of effective learning.
• It is the responsibility of middle leaders to
ensure that this understanding is shared and
then applied consistently.
• THINK TANK: How could Middle Leaders
promote / establish / activate professional
learning in their areas of responsibility?

10. How do we reduce variability and achieve consistency?

11. Definition: Clearly defined starting point (point of departure)
from where implementation begins, improvement is judged,
or comparison is made. (Do you know?)
Definition: Not able to be bought, sold, exchanged,
transfered or open to negotiation. (What are they?)
Definition: The achievement of something that does not vary
greatly in quality over time. (What does it look like for you?)

Bonus: How could you establish this?

greatly in quality over time. (What does it look like for you?)
Task: What does the potentially outstanding look like in your
area?
Bonus: How could you establish this?
