The Evidence People
Philippa was asked to speak at the 'Teacher competence and the teaching profession' international conference based in Stockholm, Sweden this week.
Her presentation, titled 'Effective, pupil focussed, professional learning environments in schools: evidence led contributions from teachers and leaders' can be found here.
Speaking at the second ResearchED conference on 6 September 2014, Philippa Cordingely offered some further insights into the differences between schools that were *merely* strong and those which were exceptional in meeting the needs of vulnerable learners.
Her presentation which can be downloaded from here outlined the key features which distinguished those schools which were exceptional (75%+ at GCSE including English and Maths) ) from those merely very good (achieving at least national averages) at meeting the needs of vulnerable learners in communities with very high FSM (free school meals).
Philippa recently spoke at the Teach First Achieve Together conference in Hartlepool. Her presentation was entitled "What evidence can contribute to pupil, teacher, school and collaborative success".
