Instructional Rounds Training (Sept. 19, 2013)ESMSTigers
Instructional rounds will take place on two levels this year. First, rounds will be an important part of small group reflection, where a team of teachers who share a common planning hour observe two classrooms a month. In this format teachers will look for descriptive evidence and avoid subjective speculation about practice. Small groups will use our faculty protocol form and will also look for evidence in support of NEE indicators 1.2, 4.1, 5.1, and 7.4. Second, rounds will be used by department chairs as a school-wide strategy to identify problems of practice. As defined by Roberts: "a problem of practice is a statement that describes the instructional problem that a school is struggling with and that serves as a focus for classroom observations" (page 4). Department chairs will conduct rounds twice this year (once each semester) to support our progress toward our building goals. The purpose of this practice is not evaluative, this practice will report broad trends for staff reflection from a school-wide perspective; no individual teacher data will be reported.
These slides were discussed during collaboration on September 19, 2013.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

subject
• Can communicate
content effectively
• An understanding of the
ways students think
about the subject
• Can identify students’
common misconceptions
5. Quality of instruction
• Skilled in effective
questioning
• Use of assessment
• Review previous learning
• Scaffold learning by
progressively adding new
skills & knowledge
6. Teaching climate

environment
• Demands high
• Challenges students
• Attributes success to
effort rather than ability
8. Teacher beliefs
• Beliefs about why
teachers adopt certain
practices, & the purpose
or goals they have for
their students is also
important
9. Professional behaviours
• Developing professional
skills & practice,
participating in CPD, &
supporting colleagues,
also has a part to play in
effective teaching
10. What doesn’t work
• Using praise lavishly
• Teaching to a learner’s
preferred learning style
13. Developing great teaching
2. Culture is crucial
The value of professional learning and
continuous improvement must be
clearly signalled (championed and
modelled)
A trust culture (‘willingness to be
vulnerable’ = please observe my worst
lesson) is vital

23. Prepare to show your best
*self-assessment
*analysis of previous inspection reports
*go over with teachers inspection procedures
*discuss/highlight what is excellent teaching
26. Prepare to show your best
Provide a simple strategy:
‘Move your head to look in the mirror’
1. Transparent learning
2. Work with student output
27. Prepare to show your best
Provide a simple strategy:
‘Move your head to look in the mirror’
1. Transparent learning
Retrospective signposting:
• So which activities have we done so far today?
• What have we learnt? Can you give me an
example?
• Why did we do that? What was the aim?
• What are we going to do next?
28. Prepare to show your best
Provide a simple strategy:
‘Move your head to look in the mirror’
2. Work with student output
Tweak the progression of the plan to bring
forward/include some teacher-student interaction:
• Task – eliciting – feedback
• Questions, questions, questions!
• Be extra attentive – challenge – board output –
correction – check meaning - upgrade - pron
We’ll look at some big-picture questions and then zone in on the steps you can follow to prepare your teaching team to shine on the big day, in that moment when the inspector calls
Start with a big question. What is great teaching, and how do we know?
Sutton Trust report, Coe et al, 2014 – evidence from research into mainstream education (primary & secondary); freely available online, has been downloaded over 100,000 times. Outline 6 signature elements of teaching that has the most impact on student outcomes
Our teachers come off the back of a 4 week training course. How much focus or support do we give to developing subject knowledge?
Have our teachers been language learners?
Link here to advantages found in NNESTs
Can still have ineffective teaching but good classroom management
Eg – belief in methods and approaches can have an impact - Guided discovery vs explicit instruction; keeping learning intention a secret; learning is linear; capacity of learners to learn
Also important to note what doesn’t work, and we know that ELT is fond of jumping on popular approaches like learning styles even when there is no evidence to support their effectiveness
How do we create the conditions for Great Teaching?
Look for subject knowledge; understanding of effective teaching (Quality instruction); teacher beliefs; commitment to own development; & key behaviours to help build a positive culture
Culture: Organisational culture is the number one predictor of development outcomes and improved classroom effectiveness, according to Matthew A. Kraft in his 2014 paper with John Papay entitled ‘Can professional environments in schools promote teacher development?’
Champion learning in your LTO – cf the Action Research scheme participation
Also – research into schools with ‘weak trust reports’ = virtually no chance of showing improvement
Again more available research.
Important message – teacher learning and dev does have an impact on student outcomes.
Here, focus on leadership activities…
Which kind of CPD is most effective
CPD programme – Walter Briggs guided our approach at St Giles (PDGs)
Latest research via the TDT 2015
Silvana & Gabriel D-M April 2018 (CUP)
Interesting to see how the multiple attempts to intervene and improve learning; what has the most impact? Can keep this in mind when planning CPD
Perf mgmt needs to be supportive (importance of feedback)
Back to culture – ongoing teacher learning has an impact
Using Accreditation UK
Yes…importance of all aspects…academic profile / course design / learner management…
Focus here is on: Classroom Observations (on the big day); how can we, as academic managers, have an impact on what happens in the drop-in observations.
Planning – tip – ask for specific Obs windows (to reduce excessive planning demand)
The evidence shows that when untrained observers are asked to judge the quality of a lesson, there is likely to be only modest agreement among them. Worse still, even if they do agree that what they see is good practice, it often actually isn’t.
if two raters watch the same lesson. Using Ofsted’s categories, if a lesson is judged ‘Outstanding’ by one observer, the probability that a second observer would give a different judgement is between 51% and 78%. [reliability]
Strong et al. (2011) used value-added scores to identify ‘effective’ and ‘ineffective’ teachers, showed videos of them teaching to observers and asked them to say which teachers were in which group. In both the experiments where the observers were not trained in observation, the proportion correctly identified by experienced teachers and head teachers was below the 50% that would be expected by pure chance. At this level of accuracy, fewer than 1% of those judged to be ‘Inadequate’ are genuinely inadequate; of those rated ‘Outstanding’, only 4% actually produce outstanding learning gains; overall, 63% of judgements will be wrong. [validity]
Other issues:
Learning is invisible
We believe that if we can do it, we can spot it
We don’t believe that observation can miss so much
- youtube clip
Have to trust our inspectors.
*Be proactive in correspondence and try to narrow down the observation windows to reduce the planning burden on teachers
2 areas to keep in mind for our preparation
TASK: what steps would you take to prepare your teachers?
Team of 2 or 3.
Teachers get the experience in advance of someone coming in.
You get a snapshot with patterns emerging
Geoff Petty in Evidence-based Teaching (OUP): it is useful to refer to learning intentions at important points during the lesson, when you can link key learning points to specific outcomes (or simply as a segue between activities – SIGNPOSTING. Can be done retrospectively or prospectively; could also be Negotiated signposting.
A clear link here as well to John Hattie’s Visible Learning – meta-analysis that shows providing a clear structure improves learning.
