During our four year partnership with IGE, the Catherine Cook School in Chicago has built a vehicle with endurance that is always taking us someplace new. Trace our journey, explore some of the byways and plan your own new paths. This interactive session will include a look at structures we repeat from year to year that keep us heading in the right direction, even if we don't always know where we'll end up.

This document discusses key aspects of pedagogy, curriculum, and assessment. It emphasizes that curriculum is a form of pedagogy, as teachers design engaging classroom activities to help students achieve desired learning outcomes. It also stresses the importance of defining the big ideas and skills students should master by the end of their education, then working backwards to design a coherent program of study from year to year. Additionally, the document notes that a school's culture conveys its values through both explicit statements and the everyday examples set by teachers in classrooms.
This document discusses pedagogy, curriculum, and assessment. It begins by asking what outcomes schools desire from education and what kinds of learning and teaching will help achieve those outcomes. It emphasizes that curriculum is a form of pedagogy and leadership is needed to create the right teaching and learning culture. The document discusses threshold concepts, backward design of curriculum, and creating a new assessment system without levels that focuses on effort, progress towards skills, and subject competencies. It proposes reporting student progress using words that describe attainment thresholds and comparing performance to baselines to determine progress.
Effective revision requires preparation, organization, and using study techniques that promote understanding and repetition. Some key strategies include creating a revision timetable to space out topics, using interleaved practice to revisit each topic several times, and employing multi-sensory techniques like mind maps, flashcards, and teaching concepts to others. It is also important to get sufficient sleep and manage stress to allow for optimal memory and focus during revision. Regular self-testing helps identify weaknesses to address and reinforces learning over time.

1. Character and Community
An outline of Process and Pedagogy
Aims:
To exemplify a process used to arrive at
a set of shared community values
To highlight the role of character in
pedagogy and practice
2. Our Aims
• Why
did
we
decide
to
develop
‘Tallis
Character’?
– We
are
all
character
educators
– We
wanted
to
give
more
prominence
and
status
to
the
non-‐academic
things
that
we
do
– We
believe
that
part
of
understanding
the
world
and
changing
it
for
the
be>er
is
personal
and
moral
development
– We
wanted
to
strengthen
our
community
by
ar4cula4ng
what
it
means
to
belong
to
the
Tallis
Community
and
focusing
on
how
we
treat
ourselves
and
each
other
3. “We are all character educators”
• Through
what
we
teach
• Through
the
resources
we
use
(do
our
resources
show
diversity
and
respect
for
other
views
and
lifestyles?)
• Through
how
we
teach
• Through
how
we
act
• Through
how
we
treat
students
and
each
other
4. The function of education is
to teach one to think
intensively and to think
critically… Intelligence plus
character – that is the goal of
true education.
-- Martin Luther King Jr.

24. Suggested Sidebars
Speaking
of
op4mism
Op%mists
tend
to
do
be2er
in
school
and
social
situa%ons
than
do
pessimists.
They
tend
to
be
healthier
too.
Why
do
you
think
this
is
so?
What
other
advantages
are
there
of
being
op%mis%c?

25. Taking it to the next level
Op%mists
tend
to
see
themselves
as
ac%ve
par%cipants
in
their
present
lives
and
the
future.
They
make
real
differences
in
their

How

par%cipate
in
the
future
by
helping
your
community

26. Optimism – Dilemma
Mukith
had
always
been
in
top
sets
for
Maths
and
never
felt
that
he
had
to
study
very
hard
to
get
decent
marks.
In
fact,
he
usually
sailed
through
exams.
Whenever
an
exam
was
coming
up
teachers
would
try
to
impress
upon
him
the
importance
of
revising.
Mukith
was
always
posiBve
about
exams
and
replied
to
teachers
that
he
was
confident
and
they
didn’t
have
to
worry
–
everything
would
be
alright.
Mukith’s
teachers
complained
that
he
was
arrogant
and
and
needed
to
take
exams
more
seriously
but
Mukith
knew
that
he
was
good
at
Maths
and
remained
upbeat.
A_er
one
test,
Mukith’s
teacher
came
to
speak
to
him
to
tell
him
that
he
had
not
performed
very
well
and
would
have
to
be
moved
down
a
class.
Mukith
was
devastated.
His
teacher
tried
to
explain
to
him
that
this
could
be
the
best
thing
for
him
and
that
he
should
think
more
posiBvely
about
the
move.
Mukith
didn’t
understand
–
why
was
it
that
he
was
being
told
to
think
posiBvely
now
but
when
he
was
being
posiBve
about
his
exams
he
got
into
trouble
for
not
taking
them
seriously?
What
was
the
difference?
Why
was
it
ok
to
think
posiBvely
someBmes
and
not
others?
How
was
he
supposed
to
know
the
difference?
Surely
thinking
posiBvely
about
exams
was
a
good
thing.
What
could
be
good
about
moving
down
a
class?
Op%mism
27. Notes for the facilitator
• This
dilemma
highlights
the
difference
between
‘blind
opBmism’
and
remaining
posiBve
about
set
backs
and
difficulBes
and
not
lebng
them
bring
you
down
• It
should
be
noted
that
this
does
not
mean
that
people
can’t
be
upset
or
angry
–
all
emoBons
are
a
normal
part
of
the
human
experience
and
ought
to
be
acknowledged.
This
is
more
about
not
placing
blame
externally
and
trying
to
work
for
the
best
in
whatever
situaBon
is
presented.
• It
is
also
important
for
students
to
understand
that
being
opBmisBc
should
not
be
seen
as
a
way
of
abdicaBng
responsibility
for
an
issue
or
event
but
is
rather
a
posiBve
outlook
on
life
–
the
idea
of
the
silver
lining
Op%mism
28. Discussion
• What
is
the
difference
between
opBmism
and
blind
opBmism?
• How
can
it
be
beneficial
to
have
a
posiBve
outlook
on
life?
• What
kinds
of
difficulBes
might
be
the
hardest
to
be
opBmisBc
about?
Can
you
think
of
the
silver
lining
in
these
events?
• Do
you
know
anyone
who
is
opBmisBc?
What
are
they
like?
Why
are
they
opBmisBc?
• What
could
be
the
health
benefits
of
being
opBmisBc?
Op%mism
29. Next steps
• PresentaBon
of
Tallis
Character
• PromoBon
of
Tallis
Character
around
the
school/in
the
community
• Evidencing
• Rewarding/recognising
• Develop
links
with
Birmingham
University
• Engage
a
working
group/student
council
to
move
forward
next
year
30. Just a thought…
• Take
a
moment
to
think
about
the
Tallis
Character
traits
(or
your
own
school
values)…
how
could
the
fostering
of
these
traits
impact
on
the
classroom?
• You
could
think
of
your
own
classroom
pracBce,
the
behaviour
or
engagement
of
the
students
or
something
else
