Does any of this feel familiar?
Have you noticed?
- Your classroom environments are really varied
- Your valued teaching practices seem inconsistent
- Many of your programs are planned individually or bought
Have you thought?
- Is there genuine alignment between our programs and pedagogy?
- Could we better raise our staff individual and collective capacities?
Have you wished?
- Your school did less, but had bigger impact?
- All your students demonstrated attributes of capable, independent learners?
If these resonated with you, you are by no means alone. The truth is that often leaders can sense change is needed and benefit from an outside perspective to help clarify what is working, what needs attention and how to get there efficiently.
For more than a decade I have visited numerous schools globally in various roles such as a leadership coach, program assessor, teaching evaluator, mentor and workshop leader.
From the thousands of conversations and meetings and observations, it is absolutely clear that great schools work in harmony.
I am also acutely aware that great leaders build clarity in what the school values, ensure there is coherence across the learning program and aim for consistency: so that every child wins.
The result of my years in the classroom, leadership, consulting and study is the Concordis Learning Architecture. It is an explicit model to help schools conceptualise and enact learning which aligns with their beliefs for every student.
The Concordis Learning Architecture will provide you with:
· clarity about how each aspect of learning functions and interconnects across your site
· structures to evaluate the level of coherence between beliefs, programs & pedagogy, and
· frames to increase consistency in how learning is conceived, designed and enacted across the wider teaching team.
My goal is to help you feel certain about what you can do to further build your culture of learning, and to help develop your skills and strategies to make it happen.
