This document discusses using competition to raise achievement in schools. It proposes developing a whole-school house system embedded across departments and subjects. Competition approaches include contests between learners, overcoming challenges as teams, and contending for recognition and rewards. Examples from PE include gymnastics routines judged by peers and football skills challenges. The principles of sports competition can be applied across the curriculum to suit learning objectives and students. Competition should be used appropriately, such as a reading league that awarded boys points for books read at home. Departments are asked to consider what competitions they already have and could develop linked to topics, and to integrate house competitions into lessons and extracurricular activities.

1. The document discusses three ideas for continuing professional development (CPD) that teachers can use: warm-up activities, an "Articulate" game, and changing one's mindset about marking.
2. Warm-up activities are suggested to prepare students' brains for learning, like warming up muscles for exercise, through quick unrelated tasks like a whiteboard jigsaw puzzle.
3. An example "Articulate" game is described where groups try to describe education buzzwords to each other without saying the words within 2 minutes.
Spelling strategies sept 2015
The document describes three spelling strategies:
1) Cued spelling is a 10-step evidence-based process for learning spellings through daily review with cues.
2) Buzz words provides a structure for developing students' understanding of vocabulary words.
3) The ACE dictionary groups words by their initial vowel sounds to help students locate words using three steps - identifying the first vowel sound, initial letter, and number of syllables.
Teaching and learning briefing 23rd sept 2016
The document announces two CPD sessions for teachers this half-term on September 29th and October 10th.

Metacognition kda
This document discusses meta-cognition, or thinking about thinking. It consists of monitoring one's progress as they learn and adapting strategies if needed. The document provides examples of how to support meta-cognition through questioning students and scaffolding. Specific questioning strategies are divided into "meta-starters," "meta-main courses," and "meta-desserts." Students should review and reflect on their learning, evaluating successes, mistakes, and setting goals for future learning. Teachers can support meta-cognition by having students evaluate prior knowledge, discuss their thinking, keep records, plan their work, and evaluate their work.
Extended writing presentation
This document provides guidance and examples for teachers to encourage students to use connectives in extended writing tasks. It recommends that teachers provide students with connectives before writing to force them to think differently about developing their writing. Sample connectives are given for different writing tasks, like comparisons, character descriptions, and setting descriptions. Teachers are advised to have students build vocabulary webs and use a variety of sentence structures and connectives to create descriptive passages. The goal is to help students improve at linking ideas in their extended writing.
Friday briefing 24th march 2017 v2

Challenge 101016
Students were given their first writing task to outline and apply the functionalist theory of society to the family. After completing a first draft, students were provided a "writer's palette" checklist to review and improve their work by adding depth, complexity, and demonstrating examinable skills. It is expected that all future written work submitted must include both a plan and draft. The benefits of requiring a draft include submitting improved work with fewer errors, engaging in self-reflection, and reducing the teacher's marking workload. Exemplar responses are also provided to students either before or after they complete their own response to demonstrate high expectations and how to apply command verbs and examinable skills.
Gallery critique
The document discusses introducing a mark scheme as part of gallery critique feedback to students. Using a mark scheme provides specific, focused feedback by highlighting what students have achieved with relevant check marks and showing areas for development. This clear feedback allows students to make higher quality improvements by directly referencing the specification in both check marks and targets, and better utilizes student improvement time. While the mark scheme takes initial time to implement, it provides higher quality feedback, fully involves students in the feedback process, and allows students to utilize their knowledge of the exam specification in the future.
Fronter assignment tool
The Fronter assignment tool allows teachers to create electronic tasks for students and receive submissions digitally. Teachers can upload files for students, assign due dates, and select individual students or groups to receive tasks. Students download assignment files, complete the work, and submit electronically. Teachers can then view and grade submissions, providing feedback and downloading all work at once if desired. The assignment tool provides an interactive way to set and receive work digitally in Fronter.

170706 challenge, deliberate practice, and interleaving ild
Challenge, deliberate practice, and interleaving are techniques that can help students learn computing skills. Challenge provides goals tailored to different ability levels. Deliberate practice involves revisiting skills in multiple ways to reinforce learning. Interleaving intersperses different topics in lessons and tests to improve long-term retention of information. These techniques will be applied at Lady Lumley's School by setting skills starters and short tests at the beginning of lessons to challenge students and strengthen their computing knowledge.
Research feedback
The document discusses providing effective feedback to students to improve their learning and close gaps. It notes feedback should focus on effort and process, not just being right or wrong. Too much feedback can prevent students from struggling on their own. Students need to understand making mistakes is part of learning. The teacher recommends 10 minutes for students to correct mistakes, look for other errors, and make their own changes to improve their writing. Common feedback in books encourages correcting recurring issues and adding detail to writing.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Raising achievement through competition
- 2. Outcomes ✤ Improve motivation of target groups in classes. ✤ Develop whole school house system which is embedded in all departments.
- 4. Three approaches to competition 1. Engage in contests with each other For example, learners compete in a monthly numeracy league, with correct answers to sums contributing points to an overall score. 2. Overcome challenges For example, during a science class, learners work in teams to see which team can build the most effective electrical circuit. 3. Contend for recognition and rewards For example, at the end of a unit of work, learners submit pieces of writing that are judged against different categories and levels of award.
- 5. Examples from PE ✤ GYMNASTICS - routine where other students are judges, students come up with own criteria for assessment ✤ FOOTBALL - who can demonstrate the most different ways of turning with the ball? ✤ ATHLETICS - event standards linked to gold, silver and bronze awards.
- 6. Example’s from PE ✤ TRAMPOLINING - which team can list the main safety aspects the quickest? ✤ GCSE - correctly label muscles on a body the quickest. ✤ SPORT EDUCATION – students in class affiliated to a team with different jobs (coach, reporter, statistician, manager, umpire, etc.). Teacher awards points to each job lesson by lesson / termly team prize.
- 7. Using competition as a teaching method ✤ The principles of sports competition can be applied to learning across the curriculum. ✤ Just as competition is only one method used to support learning in PE and sport, it can also be used as a teaching method in other subjects. ✤ As with any teaching method, it needs to be used with discernment – to suit learning objectives, learning plans, logistics and, above all, the learners.
- 8. Make sure that competition is used appropriately to support learning • For example, one school set up a reading league for boys to tackle an issue with boys’ literacy. • The boys were given points for each book they read at home, with books on sport as prizes. • School library books were allocated points according to their level of difficulty; bonus points were granted to books sourced from home or the public library. • Parents were fully involved, with the boys taking home a copy of the league table and their position at the end of each week.
- 12. Competition in your department Fill in the table with: ✤ What do you already do? ✤ What could you do that would link with topics covered / tasks set?
- 13. House System ✤ What is the house system? ✤ What does it mean to you? ✤ How can it help students develop?
- 14. Aim ✤ Develop a healthy level of competition and camarderie among students ✤ Helps students to invest in the life and ethos of LLS ✤ Foster teamwork and networking across age ranges and gives a sense of identity and belonging
- 15. How? ✤ Develop a variety competitions at all levels across the curriculum and outside of the curriculum that are inclusive, engaging and constructive. ✤ How could your department help to develop the whole school house system?
- 16. House Competition Pick a task from your subject: ✤ What would you award house points for? And why??? ✤ How could you integrate house competitions in your curriculum area both within lessons and also in extra- curricular clubs or events?
- 17. Activity ideas… ✤ Masterchef/ bake off ✤ Dragons den/ enterprize activities/ the apprentice ✤ University challenge/ maths challenge/ quiz/game shows ✤ Service i.e. charity events/ setting up or helping with extra- curricular clubs ✤ Debating society/film/book club (reviews) ✤ Gaming ✤ Performing arts/ BGT/ Music festival/ got to dance/ strictly/ shows etc ✤ Sports competitions ✤ OAA/ teambuilding etc ✤ Art and design- design house badge/logo for planners and displays / make sculptures from recycled things ie bottles
