Training opportunities for senior managers and governors

Senior managers and governors have a crucial role to play in setting strategies for teaching and learning and ensuring that staff are supported as they strive to develop their teaching and learning. However, few get the opportunity to reflect on how they can improve systems and practices to to maximise effectiveness for the benefit of learners.

This programme can be tailor-made to enable all senior managers and/or governors to discuss how teaching and learning delivers the strategic aims of the colleges. It may or not be focused towards inspection – depending on the needs of the college.

The programme could include:-

• The strategic role of the senior manager in developing teaching and learning strategies
• Working with managers and staff
• Putting the Common Inspection Framework into perspective
• Reviewing systems and practices
• Developing plans of action
