Effective Sharing of Practice

This report is intended to support Youth Music’s Workforce Development work. Much like Youth Music’s other areas of strategic focus, an ‘ingredients list’ of effective practice in the music education workforce has been developed.

The work of MusicLeader in particular has proactively sought to understand what effective practice in this area might entail, and a range of milestones are attached to the programme to develop this work further.

However, while we have a good sense of what good practice might look like, precisely how effective practice is best shared amongst the workforce remains to be established. As such, this report seeks answers to the following:

1. What ways of sharing practices are reported to be effective?
2. Who are they effective for?
3. Why are they effective?
