TLC Weeblies
During TLC 3 staff gave presentations to show how they have developed their pedagogy during the first TLC cycle @Rossett. They also forwarded a resource that showcased the work that they have done to the TLC leader. The TLC leaders then produced a Weebly each to collate all of this work. Below are the links to the Weeblies:

TLC 3 Challenge
In particular one of my groups adapted Dalton's questioning strategies to four different subjects: history, technology, drama and business studies. All of them felt that this strategy had successfully challenged students to think more deeply about their learning and had inspired better outcomes. Success!
One of Emma's groups within the challenge TLC worked on encouraging students to extend their answers, with a particular focus on development and conflict in Afghanistan, encouraging students to write more deeply and with more detail in their writing.
Another successful challenging example includes providing students with a completed crossword where students had to form the questions. This encouraged students to think about their learning and flipped the normal process of answering a question to complete the crossword.
