One component of this is our specialist training programmes, which use the EEF’s guidance reports as a basis to develop focused expertise.These in-depth sessions are adapted to meet individual school’s needs over a three day training through exemplars, case studies, templates, tools and resources covering such topics as behaviour, literacy, maths, metacognition and self-regulation and more.

As all RSN training is underpinned by a common framework and process (putting evidence to work), we find that multiple programmes - drawing in different members of a school’s leadership team help provide a common language and approach for more evidence-informed school improvement decisions. For example, a training and retaining great teacher programme for the Deputy Head Teacher and the Specialist KS1 Literacy Programme for the school’s literacy lead.

The range of Specialist Programmes includes: 

• Literacy: EYs; KS1; KS2; and Secondary
• Maths: KS2 and KS3 (EYs in development)
• Science: Secondary
• Learning Behaviours: Metacognition; Behaviour; Memory
• And more general programmes around disadvantaged pupils; training and retaining great teachers and curriculum.

Who is it for: Middle and Senior Leaders

Who delivers it: Research School Directors across the network and EEF central staff
