Staff were introduced to the concept of developing understanding within lessons and then asked to discuss the following questions within their triads.
Following discussions staff were then asked to use the QR code to read up on a blog regarding understanding within lessons and different ideas that could be incorporated to develop this area further.
Staff stated that they agreed with the main concept of not having teachers developing understanding by 'teaching talk' as the only option but some elements within the blog were confusing.
Staff were then given the task of examining the 8 different teaching tools around the room, guessing what each might be.
After completing a table, staff were then sent the links to a description of each method and how they impacted progress within lessons for students. Staff all seemed engaged and interested in examining new teaching tool ideas.
To review the task staff were asked the following questions:
To finish the first TLC session, staff were asked to select 3 of the above 'developing understanding' tools and apply them within lessons, noting their impact.
A very good start to the year, with lovely TLC groups.
Thanks Nat and Roz.
