Teaching Leaders’ vision is of a better society: one where life chances are not predetermined by social class, nor shackled by educational disadvantage. In the belief that children’s success at school can be driven not by social background but by the quality and kind of education they receive, we want to strengthen the capacity of those who lead teaching and learning closest to the frontline of schools in challenging contexts: middle leaders.
To address educational disadvantage by growing a movement of outstanding middle leaders in schools in challenging contexts.
Teaching Leaders is an education charity, specifically focused on developing outstanding middle leaders. It was developed in 2008 in partnership with four of the UK’s most forward-thinking educational organisations: the National College, ARK, Teach First and Future Leaders.
We identify, train and develop middle leaders working in schools in the most challenging contexts. Over the last five years, we have worked with middle leaders in 440 eligible secondary schools through our two programmes; TL Fellows, for high potential individuals, and TL Teams, for groups of middle leaders.
The TL Fellows programme was launched in 2008 as a pilot for 30 high potential middle leaders in
London. In 2011, we were awarded a 3-year expansion grant to grow the TL Fellows programme to a further 720 middle leaders nationwide. To date, we have developed 776 Fellows and Alumni from
209 schools across the country and are targeting a cohort of 420 high-potential individuals for our
2014 cohort.
The TL Teams programme started in 2010 as an in-school modular programme. In 2012, we were awarded a licence from the National College to deliver the National Professional Qualification for
Middle Leadership (NPQML) in partnership with Future Leaders. We now deliver the NPQML qualification nationwide to schools in challenging contexts.
Pupils in Teaching Leaders departments outperform the national average for 3, 4 and 5 expected levels of progress
3 Levels: 77.1% children led by TL Fellows made 3 levels of progress (EBacc subjects), 75%
(English and Maths); compared to 71.6% national average for English and Maths
4 Levels: 42.5% children led by TL Fellows made 4 levels of progress (EBacc subjects), 33.3%
(English and Maths); compared to 32.1% national average for English and Maths
5 Levels: 14% children led by TL Fellows made 5 levels of progress (EBacc subjects), 8.6% in
(English and Maths); compared to 8.4% national average for English and Maths
While national GCSE A*-C remains static, Teaching Leaders departments have raised attainment by
7% from 64.9% in 2011 to 71.8% in 2013
Page 3 of 20
Reducing the tail of underachievement:
Pupils are 35% less likely to fall into the tail of underachievement than the national average
(E or below at GCSE)
7% fewer children achieving below C than the national average
76% of Key Stage 4 pupils targeted by Fellows’ Impact Initiatives achieved A*- C at GCSE
Innovative; Optimistic; Collaborative; Uncompromising; Personal.
Teaching Leaders strives to demonstrate our values in everything that we do and are looking for
Development Coaches who are aligned with these values.
More information can be found at: www.teachingleaders.org.uk
As an organisation, we believe a coaching and mentoring culture supports us in achieving our mission—developing outstanding middle leaders whose teams significantly impact student achievement. We want to ensure our middle leaders are equipped with the necessary skills and support to deliver high quality leadership to their teams and students, and we believe coaching is a sound investment to support this.
Teaching Leaders Fellows work in schools in challenging contexts, and have been selected through a rigorous application and assessment process.
The Development Coach role is a two-year commitment supporting high potential middle leaders on our Fellows Programme to improve student outcomes in their departments or areas of responsibility. Senior leadership experience in a challenging secondary school is a requirement for this role. The Development Coach role is open to both currently serving and former senior school leaders.
Coaching is a crucial and central part of Fellows’ experience and development. Development
Coaches are the link between the curriculum and training delivered on the programme and the school context, supporting Fellows to incorporate this learning into their practice as middle leaders.
Coaching is the most personalised element of the programme, allowing Fellows to see a direct impact within their roles, their leadership and consequently in outcomes for their students.
“Each coaching session has an immediate positive impact on the Leadership of my team and on my development as a leader.” (Teaching Leaders Fellow)
By the end of their two-year relationship with the Development Coach and completion of the
Teaching Leaders Fellows Programme, Fellows will have:
Overcome difficult situations, building their resilience and capacity to face challenges head on.
Planned strategically to deliver a high-impact Improvement Initiative.
Page 4 of 20
Used data fully to set targets, monitor progress and evaluate results.
Led highly effective teams and created a culture of accountability for themselves and their teams.
Understood and demonstrated a repertoire of leadership behaviours and approaches.
Learnt to reflect objectively on their practice.
Developed the necessary confidence to fully step up to outstanding middle leadership being highly motivated to take on any future role.
Essential:
Experience of working as a senior leader (Assistant Head or above) in a secondary school in a challenging context.
Experience of, and a passion for, developing middle leaders.
An understanding of the challenging environments in which our Fellows work.
Enthusiasm for working with Teaching Leaders.
Development Coaches should be aligned with our mission and values, and be flexible and comfortable with being a part of a growing, dynamic organisation.
An ability to act as an ambassador for Teaching Leaders, demonstrating a commitment to, and passion for, the programme when representing our organisation.
An ability to employ a variety of coaching models and techniques adapting approaches in accordance with the needs of individual Fellows.
A commitment to your own learning and a desire to develop as a Coach and professional.
Desirable:
Whilst a formal coaching/mentoring qualification and accreditation would be useful, the most important factor for us is your commitment to your own development as a Coach and the development of others.
We expect Development Coaches to:
Enable our Fellows to become outstanding middle leaders by unlocking their potential to effectively lead their teams, raise student performance and become self-aware school leaders.
Behave professionally at all times and set appropriate boundaries.
Work in partnership with our partner schools.
Be resilient and mentally tough.

The Development Coach core and per-Fellow annual remuneration package has been calculated to cover the following commitments:
Complete 8 Coaching Visits per Fellow per year within the time-frame specified by Teaching
Leaders—6 of these to be face-to-face visits completed in the Fellow’s school unless exceptional circumstances apply; 2 to be telephone sessions. Both school based sessions and telephone sessions are a minimum of 2 hours.
Coach within our framework: we expect our Coaches to utilise their educational experience and knowledge of coaching within the framework of our coaching programme, which is defined by a set agenda, topic, Coaching Visit Prompt and timeframe for each of the 6 face-to-face and 2 telephone visits each year of the programme. We expect Coaches to conduct each Coaching
Visit according to the Coaching Visit Prompt supplied in advance of visits by the Regional Lead
Coach.
Record and upload Coaching Visit Reviews (CVRs) onto the Teaching Leaders online Platform within 5 working days of completing each visit, capturing the discussion and identifying agreed action points with dates for completion.
Provide written feedback on the TL Platform to support Fellows in producing an effective Impact
Initiative.
Support and encourage Fellows to make effective use of the Leadership Academy.
Support Fellows in using our programme tools.
Submit comments about Fellows’ development each term to be included in the Termly Progress
Reports sent by regional teams to partner schools.
Commit to attend the relevant Coach and Fellow Induction programmes and Residential, including Coach Development and Supervision Sessions (see Appendix One for dates); in the event that a Development Coach is unable to attend a required session, it is the responsibility of the Development Coach to offer payback time or submit a reduced invoice.
Meet with the Regional Lead Coach twice a year, and additionally as necessary, for 1:1s as part of a quality assurance process.
Attend any additional Coach Days as arranged by Teaching Leaders.
Undergo a DBS check for Teaching Leaders.
We will offer on-going professional development including opportunities for peer supervision and 1:1 support from the Regional Lead Coach.

We will provide opportunities for each Coach to feedback on their Teaching Leaders’ experience and contribute to the on-going development of our coaching programme.
Page 6 of 20
Appointed Development Coaches will be offered a consultancy contract with Teaching Leaders.
Contractual agreements will be formalised during July 2014, once Fellow recruitment has ended and final Fellow numbers are confirmed.
Each Development Coach will be issued an annual contract outlining remuneration for work undertaken that academic year; the contract will be revised and reissued in the second year of the programme.
For coaches who are self-employed the remuneration package is calculated by adding a set core amount and a per-Fellow amount. The core amount is remuneration for Induction and Residential
(Year 1 only), and on-going development and supervision requirements including 1:1s with the
Regional Lead Coach. The per-Fellow amount is dependent on coaching-load allocation and is remuneration for required coaching work.
For coaches who are serving school leaders the remuneration package is based on the per-Fellow amount only plus attendance at the Fellows Induction Day and is paid to the school.
The daily rate used to calculate the remuneration for the coaching package is £400. Coaches will also be reimbursed, up to a maximum specified amount, for travel to Fellows’ schools for face-to-face
Coaching Visits and for travel to central London, Manchester or Birmingham for induction, development, supervision and 1:1 sessions. Please see the Teaching Leaders Coach Expense Policy in
Appendix Four.

maximum of 8 Fellows.
For new coaches, the usual allocation is 10 Fellows.
Returning coaches may have a maximum allocation of 12 Fellows.
