Programme Leader Max Coates
We are a national leader in the development and provision of team development programmes and have worked extensively in this crucial area with schools and local authorities. Our programmes are aimed at senior leadership teams wanting to improve their existing teams or which have undergone a number of changes in personnel. It is also aimed at teams facing challenges or transitional points local authorities.
We offer a range of generic team programmes focused on either team development or strategic thinking as well as those with a more specific focus. Of particular interest to local authorities is a team development programme which is centred on the key Every Child Matters and Extended Schools agendas.
Aims
Our programmes are based on the strong evidence that successful teams are not an accident but are built from conscious commitment to performance and achievement. The programmes are particularly designed for many of the newly formed teams that have been created as childrens' services have been integrated.
Structure
The programmes are structured in a series of formats, or stages, building from a single introductory day to more comprehensive eight-day programmes delivered over four to six months. Central to the programme is four days of facilitation and/or mentoring and coaching. The latter has proved particularly valuable in supporting the professional development of individual team members and so raising the performance and direction of the whole team. The schools' programmes can be offered through NCSL's Working Together for Success or Developing the Capacity for Sustained Improvement.
