      What are Nutshells?

      Nutshells are short 30-minute CPD sessions designed to facilitate the whole school adoption of HPL pedagogical practice in Award and Fellowship schools. The ‘Nutshells’ cover a range of topics directly relating to the ACPs and VAAs, as well as covering subject-specific areas of the curriculum. Nutshells are not compulsory but are for HPL Leads and Senior Leaders to use with their teaching staff. 

      Nutshells are designed to:

      • Help teachers understand how to make cognitive success a routine student outcome
      • Increase teacher confidence and practice in building the key competencies
      • Increase the attractiveness and enjoyment of teaching
      • Increase the range and effectiveness of learning opportunities for students

      You can find everything you need for a short, easily deliverable CPD session for ‘in house’ training in the folder below. You will be able to download a presentation and the accompanying presentation notes.
