1. The document discusses factors that contribute to effective teaching based on educational research. The two factors found to have the strongest evidence of improving student outcomes are a teacher's pedagogical content knowledge and the quality of their instruction.
2. It also explores how to best evaluate teaching effectiveness, concluding that student progress over time as measured through multiple sources is the most reliable indicator. Formative evaluation systems incorporating various evidence sources are preferable to high-stakes testing.
3. Maintaining high expectations and appropriate challenge for all students is important. Challenge should be considered a planning and reflection tool to ensure all students are developing their skills and knowledge.

A brief introduction to abstraction in twentieth century photography featuring work by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Aaron Siskind, Harry Callahan and Ralph Eugene Meatyard.
Many photographers and filmmakers create unusual and striking compositions to emphasise aspects of their chosen subject matter. Consider the photographs of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Alexander Rodchenko and the film work of John Ford.
Many photographers have focused on aspects of decay that would otherwise have remained unnoticed. Mood, colour, texture and the effect of light have all been observed and recorded.

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.

2. Pedagogy and assessment
1. What is great teaching?
2. How do we judge the quality of our teaching?
3. Why are challenge and expectations so
important?
4. How might we build in challenge through
assessment?
3. What makes great teaching?
What does the research suggest to be the most and least
effective of these teaching practices?
1. Grouping by ability
2. Teacher beliefs
3. Classroom climate
4. Learning styles
5. Using praise lavishly
6. Growing a beard
7. Quality of instruction
8. Classroom management
9. Discovery learning
10.Professional behaviours
11.(Pedagogical) Content Knowledge
12.Card sorting activities
4. What makes great teaching?
Strong evidence of impact:
1. (Pedagogical) Content Knowledge
2. Quality of instruction
Moderate evidence of impact
3. Classroom climate
4. Classroom management
Some evidence of impact
5. Teacher beliefs
6. Professional behaviours
Little or no significant evidence of impact
7. Using praise lavishly
8. Discovery learning
9. Grouping by ability
10.Learning styles
5. What makes great teaching?
The two factors with the strongest evidence in improving student
outcomes are:
1. (Pedagogical) content knowledge (Strong evidence of impact)
• Subject knowledge
• Understanding the ways students think about the content, being able to
evaluate the thinking behind students’ own methods, and identifying
students’ common misconceptions.
2. Quality of instruction (Strong evidence of impact)
• Effective questioning
• Formative assessment
• Reviewing previous learning
• Modelling
• Structured deliberate practice
• Scaffolding
6. What makes great teaching?
The following two elements of effective teaching have
moderate evidence showing a positive impact on
results:
3. Classroom climate (Moderate evidence of impact)
• Quality of interactions between teachers and students
• High expectations
• A Growth mindset (persistence)
4. Classroom management (Moderate evidence of
impact)
• Timing
• Classroom resources and space
• Behaviour management
9. “Given the complexity of teaching, it is
surprisingly difficult for anyone watching a
teacher to judge how effectively students
are learning. We all think we can do it, but
the research evidence shows that we
can’t. Anyone who wants to judge the
quality of teaching needs to be very
cautious.”
Professor Robert Coe, Durham University.
How do we judge the quality of our
teaching?
10. Quality of teaching or effectiveness
of teaching?
Great teaching is defined as that which leads to
improved student progress.
We define effective teaching as that which leads to
improved student achievement using outcomes that
matter to their future success. Defining effective
teaching is not easy. The research keeps coming back
to this critical point: student progress is the yardstick by
which teacher quality should be assessed. Ultimately, for
a judgement about whether teaching is effective, to be
seen as trustworthy, it must be checked against the
progress being made by students.
- The Sutton Trust, What makes great teaching?
11. What does this mean for us?
• No prescribed way of teaching – as long as it’s effective
• No more graded lesson observations
• Formative lesson observations which promote
professional dialogue between the observer and the
observee, supporting reflection and growth for both
• No tick-list approach for observations
• Three simple questions for observation:
1. What is the teacher trying to do?
2. How do the students respond?
3. How could the teaching be even more effective?
4. Observer = critical friend
12. How do we judge the effectiveness of our
teaching?
A formative teacher evaluation system – based on
continuous assessment and feedback rather than a high-
stakes test - must incorporate a range of measures, from
different sources, using a variety of methods. A key to
suitably cautious and critical use of the different methods is
to triangulate them against each other. A single source of
evidence may suggest the way forward, but when it is
confirmed by another independent source it starts to become
a credible guide.
- The Sutton Trust
13. The goal?
A move away from grading
one-off classroom
performance, and towards
a more sophisticated
model of gathering
reliable
and valid sources of
evidence over time …
14. How do we judge the effectiveness of our
teaching?
• Autumn 1: Learning
walks
• Autumn 2: Formative
observations
• Spring 1: Book looks
and student feedback
• Spring 2: Learning walks
• Summer 1: Book looks
and standardisation
• Summer 2: Formative
observations and
student feedback
16. Three principles of challenge
1. It is not just about the ‘most able’.
2. We should have high expectations of all students, all of
the time.
3.
17. Challenge – a planning and reflection tool
• Are all students expected to develop their knowledge and
skills during the lesson?
• Are learning objectives challenging for all?
• Is the bar of expectation high for all students?
• Is appropriate support and scaffolding in place to enable
all students to achieve this level of expectation?
• Is formal, subject-specific, academic language modelled
by teachers and encouraged from students?
• Are examples of excellence shared, discussed and
deconstructed with the class?
• Is subject content relevant and challenging?
18. At a glance:
A dual system:
• Effort towards Tallis Habits reported 3 times a year
• Progress in subject specific competencies reported twice
a year
22. How do we define our ‘Thresholds’
• Define what a learner/historian/mathematician/artist /etc should
know and be able to do by the end of:
• Year 7
• Year 8
• Year 9
How would this look for:
• Learners who are excelling?
• Learners who are secure?
• Those who are developing their learning, but are not yet
secure?
• Emerging learners who are working towards expectations for
their year group?
23. Tracking progress and reporting to
parents
In tracking progress and reporting to parents, we
will look at performance relative to baseline
threshold:
• Working below baseline threshold – Below
expected progress.
• Working within their baseline threshold – Good
progress.
• Working above their baseline threshold or at the
top of or beyond the Excelling threshold –
Outstanding progress.
24. How can we use Tallis Thresholds to build
in challenge?
Editor's Notes
This means that no matter if we judge (or not judge) teaching or individual lessons, or even lessons over time, schools will always be held to account on their overall performance.
This doesn’t mean that teachers shouldn’t be judged too, but that we should move towards a more reliable and fairer method for doing this.
