Over the past 10 years we have been developing our subject leadership approach at Unsworth, to ensure that all teachers and teaching assistants are involved in the development of our bespoke enquiry based curriculum. Throughout this period of time we have built our curriculum from scratch and across all foundation subjects we have built up a systematic leadership model to ensure that standards have been raised.
The “Leading Learning” course offers participants the opportunity to learn about the Unsworth Task Team approach to subject leadership and also a chance to see the impact that a whole school approach can have on all areas of the curriculum. If you are interested in the course and would like to book a place contact our school office directly to register an interest or book a place.
This is a joint practice development opportunity for subject leaders to evaluate and reflect on their own approach to subject leadership. It aims for leaders to:
Session 1 - Creating a subject leadership model
Session 2 - Developing assessment in foundation subjects
There will be a practical post session task after session 1, which will be conducted back in school in learning pairs in the form of a learning walk. All resources will be available electronically through an app called Trello. Participants will have the opportunity to see the impact of subject leadership and use a range of self-evaluation processes to consider their own school’s approach.
