Forthcoming Report- What Makes A Good Teacher?

Our next report brings together leading teachers, educators and leaders to tackle the question: “What Makes A Good Teacher?”

The responses which this report includes come from a wide range of perspectives in terms of the types of schools, age ranges and levels. All contributors share a belief that the quality of teaching and learning matters at every stage in the educational process. The question they answer has never been more relevant than in 2021, as we reach the end of a twelve month period in which schools, colleges and universities have had to adapt rapidly to online and blended learning and teachers have had to master new media and skills and take on responsibilities which they have never had to address before. Whatever your interest, whether you are an experienced teacher, a new entrant to the profession, a student or a parent, we are sure that there will be a contribution which you will enjoy reading.

Published in partnership with Dukes Education, Keystone Tutors and UCEC.

Webinar “Charting a New Chapter: How To Establish And Maintain a Portfolio Career”

In this webinar for The Financial Services Club, Edward Wild, founder of Wild Search, shared his experience of advising on non executive and trustee appointments over more than a decade. It was aimed at those either considering their first non executive role, or seeking to combine a number of such roles following their executive career. It was also of use to those seeking non executives or trustees for their organisation, as it is important to understand the motivations of those taking this route so as to secure the best people and retain them.

Webinar “Can do better?” Have we found the best way to assess schools and how to select them?

Webinar “Can do better?” Have we found the best way to assess schools and how to select them? available to watch/ listen online.

It is almost 30 years since the advent of school league tables and Ofsted/ISI ratings are well known to most parents when assessing schools for their children. The Good Schools Guide includes entries on thousands of schools across the UK with reports by experienced reviewers. But do these three different tools give as full a picture as parents and students need to decide on which schools are doing well? Are perceptions and judgements sufficiently accurate and up to date? Do they consider not only the quality of teaching and learning but the impact the pupils make in their future careers? Are exam results overemphasised to the detriment of the contribution schools make to the wider communities they serve? Should “character education” and “value added” be included more widely as measures? This webinar, co-hosted by Keystone Tutors and Wild Search, brings together a distinguished panel of experienced educationalists to ask these questions and challenge some of the assumptions which are often made.

Chair: Edward Wild, Founder of Wild Search

Panel:

Anna Trethewey, Head of Strategy, Ofsted
Grace Moody-Stuart, Director, Good Schools Guide
Harriet Blomefield, Head of Education Consultancy, Keystone Tutors
