TEACHING SCHOOLS
Initial Teacher Training
Lead role in recruiting and training
new teachers
Offering your trainees a support tool like
BlueSky, demonstrates your commitment to their
development and will aid recruitment. BlueSky
then supports trainees to understand their
development needs and work with their mentor
more effectively. They can review their progress
against relevant teacher standards and add
evidence towards meeting their objectives.
Continuing Professional Development
Peer-to-peer professional and
leadership development
BlueSky reports identify skilled practitioners
and those requiring support within your
teaching school and across the alliance. You
can then develop needs based peer-to-peer
programmes led by your experts and monitor
their impact within BlueSky. You can then
widen and target this support by promoting
this training outside of your network, all
through BlueSky.
Succession Planning and Talent
Management
Identify and develop leadership potential
Identify skilled colleagues, and those with
leadership potential, and match to develop
focussed CPD and training, recorded and
evaluated all within BlueSky. Colleagues
from different schools can mentor and
support each other and individuals then
track their progress within the software,
enabling you to monitor and report on their
development.
School-to-School Support
Provide and coordinate support
for other schools
BlueSky simplifies cross-school working and
enables you to support schools across your
alliance. BlueSky Projects aid colleagues
from different schools to collaborate and
engage in action research and share best
practice and expertise.
Specialist Leaders of Education
SLE designate and broker specialist
leaders
Identify and broker your skilled subject
leaders within BlueSky and then track and
report on their impact. Use BlueSky to
identify budding SLEs and develop relevant
training across the alliance.
Research and Development
Engage and lead in educational
research
Use BlueSky to identify areas for research
and development through reporting and
gathering ideas from colleagues. Once
defined, engage staff in action research
projects, all within the software.

BlueSky support and printed materials provide general guidance and should not be viewed as a specific recommendation when dealing with particular issues and practices.
What is BlueSky?
BlueSky is online software to support
the management of staff performance,
professional learning and school self-
evaluation. Because it is online, members of
staff, trainees, mentors and alliance leaders
can access it across your group of schools
from wherever they are.
How does BlueSky support
individuals?
Every member of staff and trainee in your
school, and across your alliance, has their
own BlueSky account. This is where they track
and log their own progress, can communicate
with their line manager or mentor, request and
book training and interact with colleagues in
BlueSky projects.
Key BlueSky features and how they
support teaching schools
Online Portfolios
Individuals operate in a secure area
that can be accessed wherever they
are. Mentors or line managers can monitor
their progress and fully prepare for review
meetings. If colleagues move between schools
in the alliance, they can take their portfolio with
them.
Training
This is where you can promote
your training and external training
across your school, group of schools or to a
wider audience via the BlueSky website.
CPD
This is where colleagues log all the
CPD they engage in and request
to attend specific courses. Once entered into
BlueSky, its short and long-term impact can be
recorded, tracked and analysed.
Proposed Learning Plan
This is where colleagues record their
training and development needs.
This information can then be reported on when
designing professional learning programmes.
Projects
A BlueSky Project is a group of people
from one or several schools working
together in a secure environment. Members of the
project can share documents and resources and
engage in discussions.
Observations
This is where lesson observations are
recorded, either live into BlueSky or on
paper to be entered later.
Self-evaluation
This is where qualitative and
quantitative data is recorded. Including,
learning walks, work scrutiny, pupil and staff voice
and leadership reviews which can be linked to
individual, team, school or alliance priorities.
