The Institute is the Trust’s training and research centre which drives improvement in line with our mission and first core educational purpose
“Our Trust is known for the talent and professionalism of our staff.”
As part of the Trust’s Talent Strategy, our Institute pursues improved and highly engaging teaching and subject curriculum practice through quality research and evidence-based innovations (from the latest national and international research into High Impact Teaching), providing practical, hands-on training of a very high standard, instructional coaching and expert facilitation which together make a significant difference to the quality of teaching, learning, the student experience in the classroom and outcomes.
The Teaching and Curriculum Institute has grown out of our former National Teaching School and is a key player in the East Manchester Teaching Hub. It will support Tame River staff – and staff from other schools outside of the Trust who apply to undertake the training with us – to become the best they can be to drive student achievement, an ambitious curriculum and success through quality-first teaching.
The Institute provides support, training and development opportunities at every stage in one’s career. It offers high-quality training and professional development courses both internally and externally (in partnership with the Everyone Learning Alliance and the East Manchester Teaching Hub) amongst the wider teaching and leadership community in the following areas:
