TLC 1 - Progress for all (particular pupil premium)

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

We started the session by seating staff in their triads and setting them off with their first discussion as shown below.

Staff then fed back current techniques with the rest of the group. These included techniques such as scales (petrol gauge/racetrack/likert), DIRT and use of iPads (socrative/showme).

TLC leaders then shared new information with the group about why checking pupil progress is important and how it can be used to help close the pupil premium gap. New information was also shared about the importance of pupil premium and the acknowledgement of this in lessons.

Staff responded to the discussion point above by stating, "extra progression checks with pupil premium students, this can be done one on one whilst other students are on task." And "setting extra checks within homework/extension tasks."

Staff were then asked to review 3 progress techniques and implement them within lessons for the next TLC session. Blogs were also provided for research purposes, QR codes are shown below.
