Staff Professional Development
At Mulberry Academy Woodside, we take staff development seriously, as it is fundamental in providing the students with the best possible education and the most equitable class room experience. Teach First and Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs) along with all staff new to Woodside are provided with weekly training to develop excellence and ensure high standards.
We are dedicated to developing staff leadership both inside the classroom, through incremental coaching, and outside the classroom through a comprehensive CPD programme and a vast array of leadership opportunities.
Furthermore, all teachers participate in regular professional development through a programme of INSET days and Twilight training sessions throughout the year.
Instructional Coaching: Steplab
Instructional coaching involves one teacher working with another teacher, to help them take small, personalised steps to improve their practice. Instructional coaches help their teachers to get better by doing two things on a regular basis:
- Identifying an area for improvement, usually based on a short observation.
- Providing teachers with opportunities to rehearse, get feedback, and make a habit of their improvement.
In the observation phase, the instructional coach will often drop in to the teacher’s lesson for about 15 minutes. This is a chance to see how their teacher is getting on and identify the next best small step for them to work on. Instructional coaching observations are about developing teachers, not judging them.
In the feedback phase, the instructional coach and the teacher get together for a structured meeting lasting about 30 minutes. During this time, the instructional coach leads the teacher through 3 activities designed to help them to improve:
- Providing the teacher with praise on any progress they have made.
- Agreeing the next best step for them to work on, before modelling the step to help the teacher develop an understanding of ‘what good looks like’.
- Helping the teacher to plan and rehearse their step, just as they’ll use it in their classroom.
Coaching works best when we focus on small changes. Steps work best when they accumulate over time to help teachers achieve a bigger teaching goal.
During rehearsal, teachers typically try out their step multiple times, with the coach giving balanced feedback between each round. Rehearsal in this low-stakes environment allows teachers to focus all their attention on improving, so they can begin to master their step before taking it to the demanding environment of the classroom.
The instructional coach then works in some time to observe the teacher using their step, and the cycle starts again. Please refer to the attached Instructional Coaching model.

We are committed to the safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We reserve the right to do online and social media checks. The successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced DBS check, and must have the right to work in the UK.
