NPQLBC Building culture and ethos Practice Activities Select three of the following nine activities to submit to your leadership mentor. Choose an activity based on your areas of interest and the results of the initial needs analysis undertaken at the start of the course.
School culture Activity 1: Creating a shared responsibility for improving behaviour Task Read section 6 Consistency is key of the EEF (2019) guidance on improving behaviour in schools, which recommends implementing a whole-school approach to managing behaviour. Leaders of behaviour and culture can create a shared responsibility for improving behaviour and pupil outcomes by developing teachers' understanding of the part they play in creating an effective culture. Look at the school improvement plan and identify the priorities relating to behaviour and culture. You may find it useful to meet with a senior colleague to discuss these priorities. Read Recommendation 2 of the EEF (2021) guidance on effective professional development. Draft a one page plan for a series of professional development activities to improve colleagues' understanding of these priorities, why they were selected as an area of focus and their role in addressing the priorities. Ensure your planned professional development effectively builds knowledge, motivates staff, develops teaching techniques, and embeds practice by following the guidance in Recommendation 2 of the EEF (2021) guidance on effective professional development. Submission Write a 200 word (maximum) summary of your actions and learning from this task and submit to your leadership mentor. Resource EEF (2019) Improving behaviour in schools
