What are SLEs? The Schools White Paper introduced SLE role to improve the quality of school leadership through school-to-school support and peer-to-peer learning. Building on the success of the work of NLEs and SLEs this third tier of school to school support has been successfully piloted and is now available nationally through Teaching Schools. The Role Specialist leaders of education are outstanding, experienced middle and senior leaders who have the skills to support individuals or teams in similar positions in other schools. They understand what outstanding leadership practice in their area of expertise looks like and are skilled in helping other leaders to achieve it in their own context. SLEs will be the drivers of school-to-school support. They will develop the leadership capacity of others, using coaching or facilitation support that draws on their knowledge and particular area of expertise. Although supporting other schools will be the key focus, SLEs will also be able to engage with other areas of work. This could include, for example, undertaking research activity on behalf of the Alliance, preparing and delivering leadership events to which Alliance members are invited or working alongside a newly appointed leader as a mentor / coach in the form of an induction package. The role of the Teaching School Numbers The SLE is a new designation linked to National Teaching Schools. Almost 1,000 SLEs were designated by Teaching Schools in the first round. This figure has increased and continues to do so. Eventually, around 10,000 are anticipated to ensure a full national coverage. Priority areas listed by the National College have changed with each cohort but amongst them are: Primary Mathematics/Numeracy Primary English/Literacy Secondary Mathematics/Numeracy Secondary English/Literacy Special Educational Needs MFL Science Behaviour and discipline Eligibility criteria All SLEs have gone through a strict assessment process to ensure that they meet the eligibility criteria. All applications are first assessed by the National College for Teaching and Leadership before being passed to the Teaching School for further assessment and interview. The SLE concept is very closely linked to the vision for Teaching Schools. SLEs are designated by Teaching Schools and will be assigned to their Teaching School s Alliance. They are a means by which Teaching School Alliances can achieve their KPIs. 3
Leicester Teaching School Alliance (LeTS) For the development of the SLE programme the Teaching School is responsible for: Interview and assessment for designation Induction training Optional additional training sessions Raising awareness of SLEs purpose throughout the Alliance Developing aspirant SLEs from the Alliance Brokering SLE services Drawing up Deployment Agreements Completing Deployment Evaluation Documents On-going SLE support Measuring the impact of SLE deployments on outcomes for children Review and monitoring of SLE assignments Quality Assurance De-designation LeTS Alliance SLEs The Teaching School is responsible for managing the deployment process from start to finish, supporting the SLE throughout their deployment, including identifying the most appropriate SLE when a request for support is received. Support will always focus on sustainable leadership development and school improvement. With this in mind, each deployment will start with a clearly defined Deployment Agreement. Each party will sign this agreement (the Teaching School, the commissioning body and/or the supported school and the SLE). Rushey Mead Teaching School has designated eighteen SLEs. All have now completed their induction training and are eligible for deployment. LeTS SLEs can be deployed in all phases of schools, including cross phase if it is the leadership of transition that needs support. It is important to point out that the number of SLEs that a Teaching School can designate is controlled by the National College for Teaching and Leadership and the areas of expertise depends upon the applications received. For example, in the first round we were unable to appoint a suitable SLE for Science. We have also found it difficult to recruit primary SLEs. For the next round of SLE recruitment we are keen to hear from any members of the Alliance who are interested in becoming an SLE, particularly those who are from the Primary phase. 4

The benefits for your school This type of peer support is credible because: - It is rooted in current leadership practice and draws on real, relevant experience - Takes place within your school, with the SLE working alongside staff and taking into account demands on their time - Is flexible and bespoke, adapting to the particular needs of your school - Brings a fresh perspective to specific challenges or issues, as well as specialist knowledge and expertise - Always seeking collaborative development - Helps to assure long-term, sustainable improvement - Can contribute to improving school performance overall, by providing a specific focus for development and implementing tangible goals that staff can really engage with - Coaching model which is non-judgemental, whose aim is to support the on-going development of the school. - A clearly defined agreement based on the needs of the supported school is in place prior to the deployment. How can I request SLE support All SLE deployment will be brokered via the Teaching School. It is anticipated that their potential deployment will be foreseen in the whole school improvement plan, and that, where possible, they will be used proactively in a developmental, strategic way. Initial Enquiry A key element of SLE work is relationship building; from the very beginning of the process the Teaching School will be looking to build trust and rapport with the commissioning agency/host school before any formalised agreement is put in place. Following an initial enquiry, the next step will be for Jasbir Mann, Leader of School to School Support and Partnerships to identify and make contact with a suitable SLE. The SLE will then make contact with you to discuss the specific focus of the support. An SLE Deployment Agreement, tailored to your particular circumstances, will be drawn up by your school and the SLE identified. There is no set model but the support will always focus on sustainable leadership development and school improvement. Please contact Sarah Green for any initial enquiries and she will direct specific queries to Jasbir Mann who can contact you with further information.

Deployment Agreement and Evaluation SLEs will be monitored and held accountable for the quality of the support they provide. They will be expected to be able to evidence that their work has had a positive impact with measurable outcomes. As Rushey Mead Teaching School is responsible for the quality assurance and impact monitoring we have to formalise the arrangement with written agreements. To this end, a clearly defined agreement based on the needs of the supported school will be put in place prior to the deployment. The SLE Deployment Agreement (Appendix 1) will be drawn up by the SLE and the School. It will detail the: Organisation commissioning the Success Criteria support Expected outcomes Host school (school to be Time commitment and time line, supported) schedule of visits Selected SLE Arrangements Scope of work Impact measures Personnel involved at the host Funding arrangement and costs school Targets KPIs to be met All parties will sign this agreement. Deployment Evaluation The agreement will be linked to a Deployment Evaluation (Appendix II) which will give a review of progress achieved for the duration of the placement. It will provide evidence to support the impact of each target. 15
Costs & Subsidy The cost to the host school will be calculated on a daily rate or pro rata for half days. There is no pre-defined time commitment for SLE work because models and types of deployment will vary, for example, a half day each week for two terms, a full day a week for one term. Overall, we expect each SLE to be available for deployment for a minimum of 15 days per academic year. The daily rate for school to school support, (all phases) is: Cost to purchasing school Daily SLE Rates From April 2013 Reimbursement to SLEs school Brokerage fee to Teaching School 300* 240 60 *to include travel costs and teacher supply cover SLE Subsidy We have received funding from the Leicester EIP for this year so all City Maintained Schools will be entitled to free use of the LeTS SLEs. Accounting Arrangements Leicester Teaching School Limited is the trading arm of LeTS and as such all financial transactions relating to SLEs will pass through this not for profit company. The company will raise invoices to the host schools for the total cost and in turn the supplying schools (home school of the SLE) will invoice the company so that their costs (as defined in the Deployment Agreement) incurred by the absence of the SLE will be reimbursed. All costs and invoicing arrangements will be clearly stated in the Deployment Agreement and each deployment will have its own agreement. Brokerage Fee As shown on the table of rates, a brokerage fee (a fixed cost for each full day or pro rata) will be factored into the transaction. This fee will not only be used to cover the cost of administration incurred by the Teaching School, but the on-going support of the SLE by the teaching school, the final evaluation and the QA for each deployment as required by the National College for Teaching and Learning. 16
FAQs 1. Who makes the decisions about SLE deployment? The Teaching School 2. What are the priorities for SLE deployment? KPIs 3. Which schools are eligible for SLE support? All schools within the Alliance have priority call, however if an SLE is not deployed then a placement outside the Alliance would be considered. 4. What is the support intended to achieve? To develop a self-improving school system. 5. How is the SLE home school to be paid? The Teaching School will pay the home (supplying school) upon receipt of their invoice in accordance with the amounts stated on the Deployment Agreement. The financial arrangements will be handled by the LeTS Alliance Trading company; the company will raise an invoice to charge the host school and in turn the home school will invoice the company in order to be reimbursed. 6. Can the LA or other strategic partner block book an SLE/s to meet its own priorities? Yes as long as the deployment is in keeping with the Teaching School priorities. 7. Would a receiving school be expected to pay for or contribute to the costs of the SLE if its needs were determined by another agency eg the LA No 8. How many days should an SLE be deployed in one school? The amount of time is negotiable, as long as the deployment contract is clear and the targets are appropriate/realistic to the time scale. As a guide teaching schools are looking to deploy their SLEs for 15 days per year. 9. Should SLEs be available on demand? SLEs are not for intervention/fire fighting. Their deployment should be foreseen and dependent on the whole school improvement plan. 10. What is a reasonable expectation of the flexibility of deployment of an SLE? SLE s have timetabled commitments at their schools, therefore receiving schools will have to accommodate this. 11. How is the impact of SLE deployment to be evaluated? How the impact of the SLE is monitored will be specified in the Deployment Agreement Form. 12. Is the SLE involved in the initial meetings to discuss the Deployment Agreement? Yes once the Teaching School has received the request for SLE support and has identified an available, suitable SLE to carry out the work, the SLE will contact the Head of the requesting school to discuss the Deployment Agreement Plan. 17
