As a school, we want to give all our staff a chance to develop through a range of courses, qualifications, and coaching opportunities. Our Professional Learning Centre will enhance our colleagues' career development, recognise talent, enable growth, training and be used strategically for succession planning.
We will not be enforcing a 'one size fits all' approach to teaching and learning but introducing recipients of the courses to evidence-based best practice to enhance the repertoire of skills they should draw on in developing their own classroom practice.
The courses will be founded on principles of the good practice. Exemplars of good practice will be used but never imposed.
OUR AIMS:
OUR OBJECTIVES:
[*] A Laboratory School is a school which works closely with academic educationalists and consultants and where every aspect of teaching and learning is closely reviewed and teachers are voluntarily part of a learning community who continuously seek to improve their practice. All teachers are content to be observed and discuss their work with others, taking advice and constructive criticism, and sharing what they know and what they can do with others both in the school and outside.
RESEARCH: To research and capture best practice teaching and learning delivery from what is happening at Pao School, locally, nationally and internationally

NEEDS ANALYSIS: Whilst the performance management process will continue to be handled by line-managers, the Centre will provide tools for self-, peer-, and manager evaluation of performance – with training – on how to support the development of each employee, including a training team of teaching coaches mentors who will undertake observation (often in pairs with line-managers) to support teaching.
The Professional Management process will be changed to support an ongoing Professional Growth model.
DELIVER: To construct and then deliver measurably effective training programmes that support the development of all our teachers in becoming even better at what they do – the courses will range from induction and initial teacher training, through to advanced best practice and leadership development. Additional structures – like Professional Learning Communities Coaching Mentoring – will also be used when necessary to achieve the learning aims of the Centre.
Involvement in regular Professional Learning will be part of an employee’s contractual requirement and will be on-going and consistent.
PARTNER: To work with top universities and teacher training providers around the world to create a partnership of best practice
QUALIFICATIONS:
INNOVATION: Attached to the Professional Learning Centre will be Innovations Units to manage all innovation in the school in a formalized way to ensure ideas are properly developed and embedded.
SHARE: To become a Centre for, and a byword in, educational excellence, offering conferences and training programmes run by our own staff and visiting professionals that will attract from all over and advertise YK Pao School. It will produce a quarterly/annual publication of its finding, host a website/blog, including a database of internally produced research, and seek to be a major thought leader in the International Education space. The Centre will host a major conference annually – The YK Pao Global Education Conference.
