Take5 for Education
Current reviews of education indicate that to improve employability and entrepreneurial awareness amongst young people, increased business participation in delivering the curriculum is essential. Additionally schools and businesses face many similar leadership and management challenges. HTI's inspirational initiative Take5 is geared to improving leadership and management functions of schools and colleges to increase their capacity to provide relevant work related learning and vocational experiences. HTI is one of the UK's longest established educational charities and has considerable experience with schools in brokering business partnerships. We have turned our pioneering secondment programme on its head to offer business employees the chance to develop their management expertise by working with school leadership teams on a range of projects. Take5 is a unique programme created by HTI where we ask business employees to give their time to a school to assist with a specific business orientated project in one of two ways: Inspiring young people - During a one or two hour session, sharing personal work experiences and knowledge with groups of young people to encourage them to consider a particular career, to think about their educational options and to make informed decisions about their future. Supporting Headteachers - Up to five days’ worth of consultancy (either in one go or over several days), helping to improve the running and leadership of a school to help address priority issues such as marketing, human resources management, financial management, strategic planning, team management or project management.

At HTI we believe in providing a unique and fresh alternative to people resourcing. HTI has been seconding senior teachers into business for over 20 years. We pride ourselves on offering host organisations with experienced leaders who can make a real impact during an interim assignment. By hosting a stretch assignment for anything from 6 weeks to 12 months, you can have access to highly skilled individuals with the most up to date knowledge of the education market, vast understanding about learning and development and excellent change and project management skills. Stretch assignments provide a cost-effective opportunity to harness this expertise and make a real impact in your organisation. Why not take a look at some interesting case studies to see how stretch assignments have benefited their participants, their schools and the host businesses - click here. " I think HTI's secondments programme for teachers and business employees are superb initiatives. If we don't have first hand experience of one another's sectors how can we hope to prepare young people adequately for the future?" - Sir Digby Jones “I unreservedly recommend any organisation to take an HTI secondee. I think I’d go further: any organisation that doesn’t is missing a vary valuable opportunity. Certainly the HSBC group has benefited.” - Ray Campsie, formerly senior executive, HSBC

Multi-Agency Team Development (MATD) Programme for the East Midlands. HTI is pleased to have been awarded the contract to deliver the Multi-Agency Team Development (MATD) Programme for the East Midlands. We have always believed in the value of cross-sector learning, in fact HTI’s original remit was to facilitate a secondment or a ‘changing place’ opportunity for the school leader to work outside and gain a richer understanding of non-educational leadership and issues pertinent to management. Over the years our experiences have broadened with conferences focused on multi-agency working, leading groups of learners from extended schools and children’s centres and further focus on “Stretch” assignments for people to cross sectors and work in other services. Our credentials on team training are also strong. HTI has always delivered its own team training programmes for middle and senior educational leaders and in recent years has been a successful provider of the “Working Together for Success” and 2Developing Capacity for Sustained Improvement” programmes upon which some of the structures for MATD have been built. “The impact of WTFS has been far reaching. We now have a balanced team in place, with more responsibility resting with middle management, who know what is expected of them and what training means to the school. Morale has improved, there’s consistency, a clear vision, awareness of our strengths and we’re ready to move forward in a much more positive ways.” Headteacher, Birmingham primary school. The Multi-Agency Team Development (MATD) Programme has been designed by NCSL to address the challenges faced by multi-agency teams in the delivery of the Every Child Matters (ECM) agenda and the development of Extended Schools. Multi-disciplinary professionals undertaking the programme will have space to develop different ways of working, to share knowledge, ideas and information that will ensure a more coherent service provision within their communities. The programme turns theoretical knowledge into action that delivers positive results for multi-agency teams, children, young people and families. How is the programme structured? The programme is experiential with learning primarily taking place through reflection and dialogue guided by skilled facilitators who will themselves be from multi-agency backgrounds. Teams spend the first 24 hour residential session learning more about themselves and their own strengths and role within a team; and developing a project which forms the basis of their journey through the six month programme. The programme comprises of:
There is also the option of extra consultancy time between events to help with the project work. Who can use this programme? Multi-agency teams at any stage of formation who are committed to their development can apply. Teams should consist of about eight or ten members and may be focused on one school or may be drawn from across a locality. Teams should include representatives from at least three statutory government agencies, plus one extended school. Voluntary and community sector members can also take part.

The Sustainable Schools Detective Kit Pupils have the chance to investigate their school’s sustainability with a new online tool launched by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) as part of its Sustainable Schools strategy. It’s designed to guide pupils through the process of measuring their school's carbon footprint and allow them to explore what can be done at an individual and school level to reduce carbon emissions. Once the assignments are completed detectives will discover the total amount of carbon dioxide their school produces as well as the size of the carbon footprint per person. From there, pupils can develop practical suggestions on ways their school can become more sustainable. The Carbon Detectives’ Kit is designed to be used by teams of Key Stage 2 and 3 pupils (7-14 year olds) led by an adult facilitator – this can be a teacher, bursar, governor or parent. To register visit the Carbon Detectives' website. http://www.carbondetectives.org.uk/content/home/index.html

National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH)
HTI has supported 4266 successful graduates of NPQH since 1997 NPQH is the leadership qualification which is required by all new headteachers taking up their first post. It is underpinned by the National Standards for Headteachers, and must be completed in a maximum of two years. From April 2004 it became mandatory for anyone gaining headships to either be registered on the NPQH programme or have completed their training and be holding a certificate. From 2009 it will be mandatory that you have to be in possession of your NPQH certificate before you can be interviewed for your first headship positions. NPQH is currently going through an exciting redesign which will incorporate blended learning elements, including supported self study, research and online activities, face to face training, seminars and masterclasses and placements in another context.

Why Go4It
Why should you Go4it?Go4it is unique in that it provides a single over arching award, which recognises all the disparate areas of excellent practice undertaken by both staff and students. The school will experience a positive cultural change that will permeate the whole environment impacting on the attitudes and behaviours of students and staff alike Students will gain important life skills that will make them more employable and fit for a competitive and increasingly global market place Creativity, innovativeness, entrepreneurialism, go-for-it attitudes will become second nature to all in the school community The school will be gaining a national quality kite mark, a marketable brand that demonstrates an important facet of the school to the parents, the Local Authority, Ofsted, local employers, sponsors and the wider local community. The school community will be able to reflect and celebrate the achievements of the school, whilst also taking time to consider and develop areas for enhancement. Meeting the Go4it criteria will provide rigorous evidence of all five national outcomes stipulated in the ‘Every Child Matters and the Children’s Act 2004. The local community and businesses will recognise that students who have been educated in a Go4it school have had the opportunity to foster and develop the skills of innovation, creativity, judging risk, decision making, team working. The students will leave school with a sense of ambition, purpose, optimism, self belief and a real can do attitude. The leadership team within the school will become passionate in their determination to ‘free’ their pupils rather than ‘trap’ them inside a prescribed curriculum. The school community will develop a can-do attitude and begin to develop a real sense of team spirit. Achieving Go4it status will provide the school with a recognisable quality mark, that will have currency in terms of profile raising within the business and education, the local community and above all with the parents. You will receive an innovation-inspired sculpture and Go4it certificate to display prominently in your school Go4it also complements the contents of:
We are keen that children problem solve, think creatively and find things out about themselves- developing skills that will last them for life. Our journey to be ready has brought us together, united in going towards an agreed goal. Whole staff involvement has again confirmed that it’s everyone's contribution that makes the school the special place that it is. We now have a catch phrase in the staff room -'Just GO4it Carol...' And we will. Thank you for this opportunity. Carol Meakins. Headteacher. St. Andrews Primary School. Eastbourne. We believe that this is a mechanism that can help us to recognise those things that take place in school that can often be overlooked! It has been a journey that has pulled together all efforts from across the school, increasing staff morale and contributing to a great team spirit. Carrie Marshall Deputy Head – North Chadderton School. Oldham. Being involved with Go4it has made a big difference, “I am the most excited I have been for a very long time.” Julie Duckworth Headteacher – Ledbury Primary School. For me this award starts to capture the spirit of the school, and ethos of a school in action. This award starts to recognise the aspect of wider underpinning culture beyond exam results. It recognises that staff can feel empowered and fully released in their creative energy. Stephen Brown: Chair of the Outdoor Education Advisors Panel Performance Management
Revised arrangements for performance management published in October 2006 will be in place by autumn 2007.
Schools and local authorities have an opportunity to ensure all teachers and headteachers are empowered and confident to engage fully with performance management so as to develop their skills and careers. This will include better planning at the start of the cycle and greater transparency, consistency and fairness in assessments at the end of the cycle. It will also provide improved access to continuous professional development and other support that teachers need to carry out their jobs effectively. Revised professional standards for teachers, setting out what is expected of teachers throughout their careers, will provide a backdrop to these discussions. Sponsorship & support for our work

Go4It and Business
How Businesses can support Go4itWe believe young people who have been given the opportunity to experience being educated in a Go4it school will be ones that will demonstrate positive attitudes and attributes in the work force. They will bring to the workplace good communication, problem-solving, leadership and teamwork skills. They will be ready to accept a challenge and take on responsibility. “If Go4it is all about ‘might do, can do, ‘wanna’ do attitudes’, then as many schools as possible should have the opportunity to give it a go and employers should do as much as they can to support them.” Roy Jones, Scottish Power Learning. How will you recognise a pupil from Go4it school? These pupils;
There are a number of benefits for businesses like Scottish Power Learning being involved with education - personal development of our own staff, helping them to understand the education system and opportunities for staff to get involved in young people which helps with recruitment for the future. The Go4it awards are really good because it shows that at last there is creativity, there's innovation. It allows young people to get involved and gives them a real taster for getting involved with business, for now and for the future. Roy Jones - Scottish Power Learning The pupils from Go4it schools will have had experiences which, when related through their ‘curriculum vitae’ will tell prospective employers more about them and their abilities. They will become better citizens through greater understanding and closer ties with their community and local organisations. If these are the capabilities that you need in your workforce then why not support your local school to become a Go4it school? For £750 you can sponsor the cost of registration for a local school. This will give them access to resources and support to work towards becoming a Go4it school. For more information please do email l.formby@hti.org.uk. Working Together for Success (WTfS)
The programme focuses on team working analysis, team development and builds team processes for the senior leadership by:
A Working Together for Success Case study Caroline Clarke, headteacher at Woodhouse Primary School in Birmingham, had been working with her senior management team – two assistant headteachers and a bursar - for almost six years. They all believed they worked well as a team, but in 2006 were faced with a series of challenges – including a disappointing Ofsted - that prompted them to re-evaluate the way they operated. "One of the things highlighted by Ofsted was the need to redress the balance of teaching experience and delegate some of the leadership responsibility away from the senior leadership team, so I appointed four phase leaders to take responsibility for teaching and learning at foundation, infant, lower junior and upper junior stages. I wanted CPD for the senior leadership team that would complement existing CPD, as well as support and develop a real team ethos right the way through the school. WTfS really seemed to fit the bill. The first module, where we analysed the dynamics of effective team-working and what it meant to us, was a particularly energising experience and immediately gave us lots of ideas. The second provided a range of tools to give us a structured, focused approach to problem solving, team building and coaching, while the third gave us the opportunity to focus on two areas we were particularly interested in - emotionally intelligent teams and coaching. The impact of WTFS has been far reaching. We now have a balanced team in place, with more responsibility resting with middle management, who know what is expected of them and what training means to the school. Morale has improved, there’s consistency, a clear vision, awareness of our strengths and we’re ready to move forward in a much more positive ways." International Study Visits to HTI
You are invited to take advantage of this expertise through education visits to the UK where you will enjoy interaction with senior educationalists and business leaders.

HTI's Environmental Pedigree
HTI has been at the forefront of promoting green school leadership since 1997, when it was awarded environmental trust status with a remit to develop high quality environmental leadership resources for schools. The HTI Trust was registered with Entrust under Landfill Tax Credit Scheme. Initially working with Biffa Waste services and Severn Trent Water, a website for disseminating information about sustainable development was established. The site was further developed with support from timber, construction, plastics, paper, glass and tyre manufacturing industries and launched as www.e4s.org.uk, an environmental information resource for schools. The partnership between the HTI Trust and Severn Trent plc was further developed as a strategic alliance to promote environmental sustainability to school leaders. Both organisations recognise that caring for the environment is an increasingly pressing global issue. School leaders play a crucial role in promoting sustainable development for the future and are required by Government to support its efforts in this area. Recognising a need to enhance understanding of this issue amongst school leaders, HTI and Severn Trent collaborated on the development of a web based Environmental Toolkit www.thinkleadership.org.uk. The interactive Think Leadership website enables schools to assess their performance in the areas of energy consumption, air quality, biodiversity, water consumption and waste minimisation and recycling and pupil activities. DfES Asset Management Plan (AMP) data stored on the site enables schools to undertake a benchmark analysis of their environmental performance against similar schools, locally and nationally. The web site creates basic action plans automatically for schools. The Esmee Fairbairn Foundation provided funding to develop a series of one day pilot training programmes on environmental sustainability for headteachers and governors in the West Midlands. Thinking Sustainably - a one day training programme for headteachers and governors, has run successfully for more than 80 schools. In partnership with Cambridge University Programme for Industry (CPI) and Durham LA and with support from the DfES and Cisco Systems Inc. a further professional development programme has been created - Leading for the Future. This 2.5 day face-to-face training programme split over four months will enable leadership teams to understand the development needs of their schools in terms of campus, curriculum and community and prepare them for addressing sustainability through the Building Schools for the Future Programme. Most recently HTI has launched an Environmental Sustainability Forum Group to transfer best environmental practice from business into education and influence government thinking on sustainability. HTI is also piloting an exciting Greener Communities initiative where businesses can have a powerful team building event and make an enormous impact on a local school environment.
