Assessment & the Art of Lazy Teaching
- Amazing, very helpful food for thought! Nice to be provided with tools to use and adapt.
- Work smarter, not harder.
- I definitely will be supporting students to take a more proactive approach to their own assessment, and encouraging teachers I coach to do the same.
- Fizzy drink bubbles of enlightenment rising towards the surface – will pop into practice/ hot air balloon – some strategies defiant but others like a puff of air to inspire.
- Learning outcomes, more directly related to lesson plans & spec. Applying a range of assessment type. Loved the cards & great way to introduce new ideas! Thank you!
- Our learning was clever as a collie, wise as an owl, steady as a buffalo.
- A breath of fresh air. Mind blowing.
- Managers to be made aware of these progressive ideas in assessment.
- Some of the strategies, especially ones about independent learning/taking ownership of their own learning. Very informative, a lot of food for thought. Excited to try out some of the strategies in my teaching practice.
- This is the first set of new ideas that would help the type of learner I teach, I have seen in a long time. Happy to try almost all of it.
- A whippet in a storm.
- A whale being filled with delicious krill knowledge.
- Seeing formative assessment as a tool of learning not just a check-box exercise.
- On fire!
- Incorporate a card a week (extra) into our teaching.
- Don’t let learners depend on me!
- I would like to see all the different strategies enhance my lesson.
- Helpful, so thank you. Any training to get us making sessions more interesting is a positive.
- Be comfortable with being uncomfortable.
- FA – I was made aware that I am a little bit too ‘test’ heavy – plus I may not focus on the 30% that got away in my ecstasy of the 70% pass rate.
- Mandatory!!
Learning Outcomes for Independent Learning
- I’ve realised that learning outcomes are a recipe with 3 main ingredients and you need to take your time to shop for the right ones.
- Having read through a lot of my own learning outcomes since the session, I’ve found that I tend to follow the same trend: Use a Bloom word and then tell the students what they will be learning. I don’t tell them why or how it will benefit them and this is something I will work on changing. I want to inspire my students to work well and to continue working outside of the classroom, not just see maths as something they have to attend and then forget about until the next week.
- So much relevant and exciting information.
Ofsted Ready
- Such a rewarding session, not what I expected at all but have some key takeaways to really reflect on and action.
- Think more creatively, invest in the students’ experience, create an Ofsted position statement for maths and English.
- I thought the breakout room size was going to be limiting but it was actually great, loads of dialogue and ideas – I couldn’t fault the session.
Perfecting Progress Reviews
- Student led reviews are the way forward. The person that talks the most gets the most from the experience!
- We will be looking at developing our paperwork to try and focus not so much on the stuff but rather on the difference.
- Very engaging. Tony is an expert at what he does and clearly explains things so everyone understands. Nice to have training relevant to exactly what is happening in the sector.
