Welcome to Linwood Teaching School Alliance
The Linwood Teaching School Alliance is a partnership of schools and other organisations sharing our skills and expertise to improve learning and achievement for every child and young person across Bournemouth and beyond.
Evaluations: Continuing Professional and Leadership Development
During the Autumn term 2019/20, we have evaluations from training sessions delivered through the Teaching School from 599 people across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. They were asked to grade the event they attended from 1 (positive) to 5 (negative) on a number of different
aspects.
In response to the question ‘How would you rate your knowledge before the event?’, 348 (58%) of them gave the answer 1 or 2.
In response to the question ‘How would you rate your knowledge after the event?’, 550 (92%) of them gave the answer 1 or 2.
