Sharing good practice doesn’t work.
This is what Professor David H Hargreaves told delegates at a recent National College event. What he meant by this was that actually it works for the sharers; it just does not help or work for recipients.
And yet sharing best practice is recognised as one of the most effective ways to develop teaching and learning practice. So what does this mean for CPD?
It means finding a more effective way of improving practice, one that moves away from one-off training courses and INSET days run in isolation towards one that is linked with whole-school improvement, is continuous not occasional, and where everyone is an active participant, fusing learning and development with practice. This model is increasingly being called joint practice development (JPD).
