Empowering Leadership: Influencing through Coaching
  Aimed at anyone in a leadership role

  The best leaders need to empower others to get the most out of them. Our approach to coaching is
  practical, concerned with actual behaviour and real impact on others. What matters to us is to help
  people make step changes in their leadership behaviour.
         Building trust & social contracting
         Coaching and empowering others
         Difficult conversations / challenge and feedback
         Full spectrum leadership / facilitation
         Designed and led by Nick Zienau, an experienced and highly effective coach and trainer
  We make the offer in two different forms. They are not mutually exclusive. You can opt for either option
  depending on your needs and practical considerations.
  The design also allows people to start with one option and do the other at another time.
  People get most out of using the 7 tools when they have repeated opportunities to practice and get
  feedback. Either course can act as a refresher for the other.

  Option 1 – Coaching Programme (online)
  This series of sessions breaks down the 7 tools defined by Nick into 4 x 3 hour sessions. It is suitable for
  all those in leadership positions in school and takes a very practical approach to practicing and using the
  tools in the context of your leadership.
  There will be 1½ hours of input, modelling, practice and discussion, followed by 1½ hours of personal
  group coaching in triads.

  Cohort 1
  Session 1 – 20 October 2020                                                        2.00pm – 5.00pm
  Session 2 – 10 November 2020                                                       2.00pm – 5.00pm

  Session 4 – 13 January 2021                                                        2.00pm – 5.00pm

  The content of this is the same but concentrated into 2 days instead of spread over the year.
  This format covers the same tools and philosophy but is a more intensive experience and allows
  participants to challenge their own current practice more deeply and is particularly effective in
  promoting self-awareness of the link between your own behaviour and the impact you have on others.

Headteacher Conference
We are delighted to work together with the Headteacher Committee in supporting the annual Tower
Hamlets Headteacher Conference. The 2019 conference was a tremendous success with a well-received
range of high-quality speakers.
As a result of lockdown and uncertainties for the Autumn term we plan to run a one-day conference in
November and then our residential conference in Spring or Summer 2021. The programme will be decided
later in the year but we will work with the Headteacher Committee to provide another strong line-up and
we will continue to subsidise the Price of attending for Headteachers of member schools.

SEND Professional Learning
Our SEND Group is currently developing a SEND professional learning offer to compliment the specialist
and outreach work offered by other providers. We expect to launch this offer in the 2020-21 autumn
term with further details to follow in September. We will develop three strands for this professional
learning:
    1. A mini-conference aimed at Headteachers and Senior Leaders - ‘Leading an Inclusive School.’
    2. A SENCo Network to share ideas, collaborate on projects and provide mutual support and challenge.
    3. Training for classroom teachers – ‘Leading an inclusive classroom’. We will also look to run one-off
       workshops on specified themes throughout the year either face to face or online.

School Business Manager Support
Aimed at school business managers and finance leads

THE Partnership supports the work of the School Business Managers’ Forum and in 2019-20 we have
worked together on the introduction of a managed services contract for temporary staffing that will
provide significant savings for member schools. In addition, in 2020-21 we will work with the SBM
Forum to identify their professional learning requirements and how they can be met through THEP.

Additional Professional Learning Opportunities

Online Think Tanks, Roundtables and Collaborative meetings
Throughout the year THEP will facilitate and lead a series of events aimed at stimulating debate and
thinking around particular topics. These are likely to be driven by the current educational landscape and
priorities but will be co-constructed with members and their feedback. We will invite guest speakers,
experts and authors to contribute to these discussions so that THEP colleagues can hear from leading
voices in education and leadership. We will continue to run collaborative meetings with the aim of
offering peer to peer support and sharing knowledge across the system. Details of events and timings
will be issued via the KiT bulletin and other THEP communication channels.

Additional Leadership Consultant Visits
Member schools are provided with the services of a Leadership Consultant but can purchase additional
Leadership Consultant support to address specific issues identified by you such as Ofsted readiness,
mentoring, coaching, data evaluation or support with recruitment of key posts.

Price - £550 per day

Focussed School/Subject/Themed Reviews
These reviews are bespoke and driven by specific needs identified by the school. Examples may be an area
of the Ofsted framework where you would benefit from external validation or a theme identified through
your own self-evaluation, recent feedback or data. The review will include verbal feedback and a written
summary including agreed actions for further improvement.

Price - £650 per day including a report

Leadership Coaching Packages
We offer 1-2-1 coaching support with leaders and staff at all levels to reflect on their leadership and
improve performance.

We also offer group, facilitated coaching sessions for SLT or other key leadership groups within your
schools

Price - on application

Bespoke Training and Development
THE Partnership continues to offer member schools individually tailored programmes at discounted rates.
For example, we have delivered strategic away days for senior leadership teams, leadership development

schools.

Headteacher Appraisal Facilitation
  THEP has developed our own approach to this process built around our coaching philosophy; the power
  of asking the right questions and the big questions that unlock sustainable school improvement. This
  would involve a complete service from the preparation, meeting with the Headteacher, a review meeting
  with Governors and a summary document that will keep the targets alive throughout the school year
  rather than as just a moment in time.

  Price - £500 per Headteacher

  Appropriate Body (NQTs)
  This service involves registering NQTs with Tower Hamlets and the Teaching Agency, maintaining
  records, agreeing whether performance standards have been met and notifying the Teaching Agency of
  the outcome. A named contact and advice line is provided for support and guidance for both the school
  and the NQT.

  Projects and Research

  Current Projects
  We believe in the value of evidence-based school improvement strategies and will seek out and create
  opportunities for schools to be involved in a range of projects. In recent two years, our member schools
  have had the opportunity to participate in grammar, oracy, curriculum, mathematics and science
  projects. Research undertaken in some of these projects has been published and disseminated.

  It is our intention to offer further project opportunities to our member schools in 2020 - 21.
