Beowulf was confident in his awesome strength and ability to match Grendel based on his experiences overcoming extreme challenges.
The document discusses the history of the opium trade between Britain and China in the 19th century. It describes how Britain began smuggling opium into China to balance trade when China did not want to trade other goods, which led to widespread opium use in China. The Chinese government demanded foreign companies stop importing opium, angering Britain who militarily forced China to continue the opium trade through the Treaty of Nanking. Opium was also commonly used medicinally in the 18th century to treat conditions like depression and insanity, though its effectiveness was limited.

This document discusses knowledge management in Moodle. It outlines how Moodle can be used to organize, share, and create knowledge through features like courses, forums, wikis, blogs and data mining of log files. While findings showed VLEs are used to share resources and for teacher-pupil dialogue, there is room for more integration with assessment data and lesson planning. For knowledge management to be fully realized, a VLE needs to be embedded within an organization's culture and practices, not just introduced on its own. Moodle in particular supports knowledge mapping, sharing and creation through its built-in tools and interoperability.
The document discusses implementing the SCALE-UP model of collaborative learning in a virtual classroom setting. In SCALE-UP, students work in groups on applied projects, with an emphasis on peer interaction over lectures. The authors attempted to emulate this model with online sections by having students progress through themes in groups, sharing resources and building presentations. However, they found it difficult to replicate the collaborative aspects of SCALE-UP virtually. While individual work was possible online, large group collaboration proved challenging. The authors determined the online version could emulate some SCALE-UP elements like information sharing, but not the fully collaborative nature of the in-person model.

3. What is ‘Wellbeing’?
• Multiple discourses (
Gill Ereaut DCSF Research Conference 2008),
highly contested
• Often constructive negatively, particularly
concerned with protective aspects and
vulnerable or deprived children
• It can (and should) be developed in a more
positive sense, building on strengths and
personal qualities
• A cultural construct – what people collectively
agree makes ‘a good life’
• The stuff you already do! The stuff that this
school is made of
• A duty of schools from September 2007
4. Isn’t Wellbeing just about my health?
• NO!
– Personal, Physical, Emotional, Mental, Social,
Cultural, Political, Economic, Academic,
Community, Spiritual, Moral….
• What are we here for?
• A focus on ‘Wellbeing’ calls for nothing less
than a transformation in fundamental
institutional structures….
• It’s what we’re trying to do at Tallis - Making a
difference to the lives of children
– Helping them to become informed, active and
responsible members of local, national and global
communities, and to make positive decisions
5. Why ‘Wellbeing’?
• Tallis is a ‘first-mover’
• Faculty of Wellbeing to formalise some aspects
of the curriculum
• Who wants it?
– DCSF, ABA, Health Organisations, Parents,
Citizenship Foundation, Employers, Schools,
Students…
• Inspected by Ofsted from September 2009
– developing wellbeing indicators to assess a school’s
contribution to promoting pupil wellbeing and to
provide schools with local area information
• The Educational Imperative - we don’t need the
whip of assessment to make it matter
6.
7. Current Initiatives
• Aims of the Curriculum
– Successful learners, Confident individuals, Responsible
citizens
• Every Child Matters
– Be Healthy, Stay Safe, Enjoy and Achieve, Achieve Economic
Wellbeing, Make a Positive Contribution

– Identity and diversity, healthy lifestyles, community
participation, enterprise, global dimension, technology and the
media, creativity and critical thinking
• Personal Learning and Thinking Skills
• Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL)
• Values Education
8.
9. Wellbeing across the school
• The curriculum is the entire planned
learning experience
• ‘Enterprise Days’
• Do you have a burning desire to do
something different with a year group but
have no time in your already
overcrowded curriculum?
• We can give you time!
10. What do you think?
Questionnaire Results
• 54 teachers, of which 52 are currently or have
been tutors
• Main findings;
– Results fairly similar across year groups
– Most teachers like spending time with their tutor
groups
– Most teachers think that tutor time is important
– Most think that PSHE should be taught by specialist
teachers
– Most teachers feel comfortable with a majority of
PSHE/Citizenship/Work Related topics but not
adequately trained and without time to devote to
teaching the tutor group
– Distinction apparent between ‘tutor time’ and ‘PSHE
lessons’
