Cricket Green School - Centre for Teaching Excellence
The Centre for Teaching Excellence increased teachers' capacity to develop subject knowledge and fostered innovation.
Supporting a culture of innovation
The project aimed to build teacher capacity to develop subject knowledge that will drive up standards and support a culture of innovation across the Mitcham Town Cluster (MTC) of schools. Enhanced specialist subject expertise was provided through the Centre of Teaching Excellence and in-house MA in leadership and innovation
Findings suggest that providing opportunities for teachers to participate in structured, accredited learning over a sustained period of time, that was both project based and premised on pedagogical problem solving, that both teacher efficacy and pupil efficacy in learning was improved. 52% of a total of 157 pupils across all participating schools showed improved attainment levels. However, the project did not have a comparison group so more sustained data would be needed to draw conclusions.
