Learning Team Briefings
Many thanks to the staff that have led the LT briefings this year and
thanks to all the staff that have passed on such positive feedback.
Just a quick reminder about what we have seen so far. Hopefully lots
of you have been trying the ideas out in your lessons!
Session 1: Andrew Moxon showed us Coggle. This is an online mind-
mapping resource. Simplemind is a good alternative for the iPad.
Session 2: Mathilde Hazenberg shared her tips for interactive
learning. Quiz, quiz trade is a way of consolidating knowledge and
checking understanding.
Session 3: Liz McGlen showed us Appfurnace. This is a way of
creating apps that students and parents can download and use at
home.
Info on all of these sessions will be available on Sharepoint this week.
British Values
As part of the new 2014
curriculum, the DfE reinforced
the need “to create and
enforce a clear and rigorous
expectation on all schools to
promote the fundamental
British values of democracy,
the rule of law, individual
liberty and mutual respect and
tolerance of those with
different faiths and beliefs.”
Consider…
How is this being delivered in
your curriculum area?
What could we do differently
or better to ensure this is
happening?
