Schools have reduced variance for disadvantaged students in several ways:
1. Providing individual and small group tuition in core subjects, extending the school day, and supporting attendance and enrichment activities.
2. Implementing vertical tutoring and regular progress checks to identify students needing extra support.
3. Deploying teaching assistants and reducing class sizes to enable 1:1 intervention.
4. Consulting students, staff, and parents to understand obstacles and tailor support for different year groups.
5. Appointing support staff to address social, emotional, and non-academic barriers to learning.
6. Holding frequent progress discussions to monitor impact and adjust support in real-time.

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.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
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.
1. How can we Diminish the Difference?
Closing the gap between the achievement of
disadvantaged pupils and others is the biggest
challenge faced by our generation of teachers and
school leaders.
Sir John Dunford
(John was the government’s National Pupil Premium Champion
from 2013 to 2015)
At age 16 38% of PP students achieve 5 GCSE
passes (inc English & Maths) at grade C compared
to 65% for non PP.
2. • 50% of the 28 PP students we closely monitored last
year achieved a positive P8 score.
Deja +1.57 Riley Ash +0.49 Sinead Dean +1.30
Brandon Gibb +0.12 Aaron Mavin +0.02
Jake Sheldrake +0.05 Euan Williams +1.03
• We achieved a 4% increase in the percentage of PP
students achieving A*-C in English Language,
• 57% of PP students achieved a grade C or above in
maths.
• 5 out of 8 (63%) upper band PP students advanced into
the Chalfont's 6th Form.
• 6 out of 8 (75%) upper band PP students had
attendance above 95%.
So can we make a difference when we act together?

9. College Improvement Plan
2016 to 2017
Increase the focus, progress & academic
opportunity of our high ability learners as well as
those students who are higher ability (L5+ from
KS2) from a disadvantaged background
• We need to get to know these students as individuals.
• Lets find out what they enjoy inside and outside of school.
• Lets see where we can celebrate their achievement to make
them aspirational and get that ‘can do’ feeling.
• Lets not let them leave us feeling like they can never escape the
class divide.
10. Action ideas for 2017
Task: Read the case study you have been given.
How has school variance successfully been reduced?
Characteristics of Schools which have managed to reduce within
school variance for their disadvantaged students
11. Action ideas for 2017
• Case study 1: The largest allocations were to individual and small group tuition in English and mathematics,
an extended day for targeted pupils, Money was also spent on support for improving attendance and on
music tuition. careful use of feedback
• Case study 2: ten top gap busters’, Vertical tutoring. Learning conversations’ take place regularly within the
tutor group, drive for independent learning, drive for independent learning,
• Case study 3: 1:1 intervention lower down the school
• Case study 4: extra teacher to reduce class sizes
• Case study 5: system of bids for funding from subject leaders and tutors. The school encouraged parents
and carers to put forward their suggestions about what their children might need
• Case study 6: Senior leaders held formal discussions with staff about pupils’ progress every six weeks to
identify pupils who needed additional support This drove the deployment of teaching assistants
• Case study 7: consultation with groups of pupils, different obstacles to success in different year groups
• Case study 8: The school decided to appoint a parent support adviser /welfare officer.
• Case study 9: Leaders decided to create an after-school study area for Year 11 to use between the end of
school and 5.30pm
• Case study 10: EAL intervention
• Case study 11: The school first provided her with social and emotional support, and ongoing counselling

‘’the biggest challenge in education today!
Editor's Notes
The persistent gap in the UK which is wider than in most other countries has existed for generations. Due to greater inequality in our class system than in many other Scandinavian countries. £2.5 billion per year is now provided by the government to close the gap. Its about making sure students aren’t held back because of their background. They often come from a background of
‘’a lack of education never did me any harm’’
