Hi, I'm Mal,
I believe passionately that in the right culture; students, teachers and schools thrive.
My almost 20 years’ experience in education as a teacher, middle & senior leader then Senior Assistant Principal across a multi-academy trust, mean I've seen it all.
I‘m in a unique position of understanding the strengths of teachers, the pressures they are put under and the struggles between wanting to stay or leave the profession.
I also understand the burdens senior leaders face when trying to marry school improvement needs, with national priorities whilst dealing with a funding crisis.
I set up MalCPD Education Consultancy & Coaching to share what I’ve learnt to support others along their education journey. I know and have seen how all teachers can develop and improve their practice with the right training, mentoring and coaching.
Teaching & Learning works best when the individual skills gaps of the staff are identified and enhanced through a coherent cycle of differentiated CPD. I truly believe, if the leaders of a school are skilled, confident and work together as a team, this will enable them to ensure all teachers are more effective, which will ultimately have an impact on student progress.
Coaching creates an energising culture where teachers re-ignite or sky-rocket their enthusiasm for teaching, excellence and collaboration.
