The first network session was attended by 11 cover supervisors
from seven different schools in South Gloucestershire and
chaired by Angela Feltham, Teaching and Learning Adviser,
Support Staff. It was a really good opportunity to meet
and exchange ideas and feelings about the role. It was
very encouraging to be joined by some colleagues who are
already in their second year in the role and enjoying
it. Some cover supervisors are already making future
plans for career development. One cover supervisor is
planning to train as a teacher, another has started the
Further Education Teaching Qualification. As a result of
this meeting we identified some 'Good Practice which we felt
was worth sharing with other schools who may be considering
this way forward. With every new strategy employed it is
valuable to consider some clear guidelines so that the new
initiative is as successful as possible. We have
summarised these points and hope that they will be helpful to
your thinking.
