Learning Walks: Week Beginning Monday 16thJanuary 2012

Here’s wishing everyone a happy new year.  We have started our learning walks again.  Please see this as an opportunity to let the students see staff working together and supporting each other.  The format will be as it was last term.  We are trialling a new record form for our visits; I’ll try to post a copy on the blog so everyone can see – but do ask if you have any concerns.  This term we are going to be inviting other colleagues to join LT from time to time.  Going on a learning walk is a fantastic CPD opportunity.  You get to see our staff doing an excellent job and it is a great way of picking up some top tips.  Once again; thank you for being so positive about welcoming colleagues into your rooms.

Last week’s learning walks gave a really positive impression of the school.  Many lessons had a very positive and purposeful atmosphere.  Pupils were engaged in their learning and in many cases clearly enjoying their lessons.  This was facilitated by a lot of hard work and careful planning by colleagues.  There were lots of good examples of learning objectives being shared with students in a way they understood.  As a result students knew what they were meant to be doing and what was expected of them.  Students were also witnessed having the opportunity to present their learning to others and to peer assess work.  The three most common features highlighted on our forms were; active, purposeful and responsive.  Well done.
