LA/Uni Partnerships
• 8 partnerships now in place centered on universities
providing ITE
• All 32 authorities in partnership with at least one
university
• Different models in place with different governing
structures
• All in receipt of SG grants to develop partnerships
and most now have dedicated staff in place
LA/Uni Partnerships
• STEC/ADES survey highlighted issues:
• Much of the work dependent on a small number of
key staff
• Fragility due to reduced capacity within LAs
• Universities developing as senior partner –
reciprocity not yet achieved?
• Realism required in relation to the speed of
change
• Quality key – audit existing provision across your
partnership
National Implementation Board
• Education Scotland Aspect Review 2015/16
• Legacy Event 2015 plus satellite events

Scottish College for Educational
Leadership

Headship Programme

Developing Scotland’s Young
Workforce
• Ambitious and wide-ranging set of targets
• We will work with our partners – especially those in
local government – on how to take forward the
Commission’s ideas
• Implementation plan published by the end of the year
• Aim to build on existing, effective practice
• Commitment to take proposals forward as part of CfE
and not a new strand of work – realistic pace
Implications for teaching
Recommendation 1 - Pathways should start in the senior phase which lead
to the delivery of industry recognised vocational qualifications alongside
academic qualifications. These pathways should be developed and delivered
in partnership with colleges and, where necessary, other training providers. Their
delivery should be explicitly measured and published alongside other school
performance indicators.
Section 2 - Initial teacher training and continuous professional development
should include modules which help teachers deliver a broader
understanding of employment and enterprise as part of the Curriculum for
Excellent Broad General Education and the senior phase.
Section 2 - Additionally, programmes should be developed in partnership with
industry to provide teachers who will lead our schools in future with a wide
ranging understanding of industry and careers.
Implications for teaching
Section 4 – Colleges must play a key role in significantly enhancing
vocational education in the senior school phase through partnership with
schools. (Registration of College lecturers)
Recommendation 16 – Scotland’s leading industry sector groups and
companies should be encouraged to work with the Scottish College for
Educational Leadership to develop a programme to provide emerging
school staff leaders with a wide ranging understanding of industry and
careers.
More broadly a partnership approach to planning and delivering the
curriculum will require joined up collaboration across school and college
sectors. Challenges and opportunities for teachers.

Theoretical consideration of
Professional Development
• Evans (2014) critically evaluates various models for
Professional Development
- Proposes a component structure which includes:
behavioural [practical elements], attitudinal,
intellectual development
- Suggests behavioural change are usually main
focus for PD – so how can we influence other two
areas?
The componential structure of
professionalism from Evans (2014)
