Growing Teachers, Strengthening Practice
Around 20–25 teachers engaged in CPD on the Happy Schools and RIGOR frameworks.
Context
A professional-development initiative for teaching staff, delivered to approximately 20–25 teachers.
Approach
I delivered a CPD session on the Happy Schools Framework and facilitated a session on the RIGOR Framework, focused on Relevance: connecting objectives to real-life contexts, aligning goals with standards, building clear success criteria and using effective feedback and self-assessment. Happy Schools centred positive, inclusive classrooms that prioritise wellbeing, belonging and engagement.
Impact
Sessions were interactive, with teachers reflecting on their own practice and exploring classroom applications. I continued to support colleagues afterwards through professional discussion, shared resources and practical implementation.
Reflection
The follow-up mattered more than the session itself. Practice changed where I stayed alongside colleagues afterwards. I would build in a short check-in a few weeks later, so the frameworks become habits rather than a one-off input.
Supporting Evidence
Facilitation materials and post-session feedback from participating teachers. Available on request.
