Case Studies
Dundee City Council Pedagogy Team Development Programme
A new team of specialists drawn from across different functional areas of the council’s Children & Families Service, was set-up by Dundee City Council in 2019. Named the Pedagogy Team, its principal roles were to support the delivery of high-quality learning and teaching across all Dundee schools; build professional capacity; support improved attainment, collaboration and enquiry; identify effective practice; and provide opportunities to share these practices, together with successful interventions and pedagogical approaches.
the Mudd Partnership was subsequently asked to design and deliver a bespoke team development programme to enhance effective communication with multiple stakeholders; support team members to appreciate each other’s strengths; to listen and provide appropriate challenge; have difficult conversations; and work collaboratively while allowing schools to take ownership of improvement models.
A blend of team effectiveness diagnostics, workshops, Learning Into Practice sessions, and team coaching sessions with the facilitator working with the team in real time, were all used. The programme was successfully adapted to run virtually and its bespoke nature became a distinct strength during an increasingly challenging time for maintain high-quality service delivery during an beyond the pandemic.
Leadership Learning for the West Partnership Regional Improvement Collaborative
Working in the wake of the 2020 COVID_19 landscape, we were invited to collaborate with the West of Scotland RIC (representing over 700 primary and secondary establishments) to develop and deliver a high quality virtual professional leadership learning experience.
The focus was on educational priorities within a turbulent landscape and the development of mission critical flexible and adaptive leadership capacity for the future. Building on the success of these collaborative programmes we were asked to design and deliver bespoke work for individual local authorities that specifically address local priorities.
Design & Implementation of Leadership Development Solutions for Head Teachers
For the past 7 years, the Mudd Partnership has worked closely with a number of Local Authorities across Scotland to design and implement leadership development solutions for Head Teachers (HTs). The approach adopted in each Authority has been co-design and co-facilitation, benefitting from the synergies created when expertise from the field of education is combined with expertise in leadership development.
The work to date includes:
- Designing & facilitating leadership induction frameworks for new HTs
- Cross-City Leadership development for HTs to lead and manage people through change
- Continuous professional learning opportunities for experienced HTs who have worked in support of the induction frameworks
- Executive coaching support
