Presenter: Jess McKay

Description:
This session will concentrate on leading a team that is focused on improving the quality of teaching across a team, a faculty, indeed across the whole school. It is important that teachers engage in professional conversations about our core work, so that we can identify common approaches, celebrate success, and identify areas for improvement. This involves understanding various approaches to instructional practice; when and why a particular practice is more likely to be effective. It is important to be able to articulate what instructional practice is and to model it effectively. This session will include approaches to instructional practice and skills for building a team of teachers committed to constant improvement.
