NEW!
Our Summer Term Professional Development programme 2022 continues. The Avanti Institute is evolving. Staff feedback is key to our future success. We are on our way to developing bespoke, effective & continuous professional development that is available to and led by Avanti staff and highly regarded external speakers. We welcome back some of these hosts as they deliver their second webinar in the series. Do catch up with some of the first sessions here:
Mike Ion: Growth Mindset: How do we help students believe that their intelligence grows with their effort?
How do we help students believe that their intelligence grows with their effort, and that they can achieve high standards by taking on challenges, seeking and applying feedback, and learning from their mistakes?
Claire Welling-Herrera: Writing in the Primary classes: Using ‘High Quality Texts’ to inspire writing across the genres
Planning writing in the Primary classes: An approach
‘Typically, schools have found that children initially double their rate of progress when a systematic teaching sequence is developed from a quality text.’ (TfW Research, Pie Corbett, 2013)
The session will focus on backward planning around high quality texts for writing – what that means and why it’s important.
Your development matters
The continuing development of the Avanti’s employees beyond their induction and initial training is an area of crucial importance for the MAT. The Avanti Institute for Professional Learning is part of an overall workforce development strategy that views CPD as an ongoing, planned learning and development process that contributes to work-based and personal development. The scope of the Avanti Institute covers all settings, institutions and teams and includes – but is more than – training, development and professional qualifications.
What are we trying to achieve?
The main strategic outcomes of the Avanti Institute for Professional Learning are to:
Contribute to improved outcomes for all learners;
Value all our staff by improving their competence, confidence and self-esteem;
Develop a qualified workforce;
Develop a learning culture across the MAT;
Contribute to improving recruitment and retention of staff;
Ensure that the MAT is compliant in regards to any statutory training requirements.

The Avanti Institute of Professional Learning exists to support the professional and personal development of staff working in all of Avanti’s schools.
To continually strengthen the quality of teaching and learning in our schools we plan to offer a range of professional learning programmes to practitioners at all levels. The programmes are designed to develop learning over a series of sessions, and to challenge all participants to reflect on their own thinking and approaches. For example we will seek to offer the following professional learning programmes for 2021/22:
