TLC 2 - Progress for All (particular pupil premium)

The aim of the second TLC was to examine current techniques checking pupil progress within lessons and understand why these are valuable to help close the gap for pupil premium students. Staff would  be able to share ideas/learn new techniques to implement in their lessons. 

The first task of the session was for staff to discuss in their triads the blogs they read from the previous TLC session. What were the pros and cons for each article......

Staff were then asked to discuss the three progress checking techniques within their triads that they had researched (and hopefully had time to trial) from the last TLC. 

Some excellent ideas were shared here with staff stating how some techniques had not been successful as they didn't show much impact, whereas some ideas had become a massive hit within the classroom with both students and staff who worked in there. A great example of this was Micky's food race track.......

Finally staff were given time to start discussing their presentations for the next TLC session on pupil progress. They were asked to consider several questions; How would they present it? Would they talk about all three techniques or the one that made the most impact? How would they show this impact? 

A great session with all staff engaged and involved when discussing their own or other' s ideas. The presentations look like they will be great for the next session.
