Assessment & the Art of Lazy Teaching

  • Wide saucer eyes of enlightenment.
  • To build assessment throughout your session with ease.
  • The session was brilliantly paced, entertaining and informative.
  • Thank you for given me a new lens to look at my teaching through.

Implementing Live Self Assessment (Quality Standard development)

  • A refreshing view of how to achieve my dream 😉
  • Out of the firefighting, into the helicopter view (then back to the fire).
  • A melting pot of knowledge.
  • The journey is the reward.
  • I think it will generate an improvement plan which will focus on impact for both staff and students.
  • It has helped me put pen to paper and articulate my Standards.
  • It will clearly define where the college wants to be, and supports being able to see the steps that need to be taken to get there.
  • “Capacity to improve!”
  • Have felt I’ve been swimming against the tide in terms of evaluating impact on learners. Great to all be going in same direction.
  • Good to have a standard and objective approach to self assessment, and to use the process as a planning rather than reflective tool.
  • Putting the learners and not the process at the core of what we do, and helping us to aspire to great things.
  • Over time, this will change our direction and will drive use to aim for our gold standards.

Learning Motivation – designing unmissable experiences

  • Light at the end of the tunnel.
  • More unmissable events to look forward to on the SoW.
  • It would be really nice to do a training session with my teaching staff, we will be looking into planning this.
  • I was so inspired by the video at the end. It would be so amazing to do a collaborative induction term with the college.

Perfecting Self-Assessment Writing

  • Ironed the wrinkles out of my brain.
  • Root cause issues analysis – I feel far more confident identifying this and discussing it.
  • This training was fantastic – one of the most engaging and effective I’ve had!
  • Reassuring, like being wrapped in a warm blanket.
  • Thought provoking and want to try the approach out.
  • Think about the impact of my support service on the learner -how do I want them to be different.
  • Supernova. Relentless focus on root causes is a powerful message I want to implement. Fab.
  • Very informative and changed my view of self-assessment.
  • I have a far clearer vision of what the SAR should look like and how I can use them to make a real impact in my department rather than writing them for SLT.
  • Enlightening. Thinking about the ‘so what’ and getting to the root cause. Great session, thank you.
  • Planted the seed.
  • The light at the end of the tunnel feels less like an oncoming train.
  • Greater focus on language and stop writing for someone else.
  • Really interesting session; very well delivered. Thank you.
  • It gave a fresh look at something we do on a regular basis.
  • Thought provoking. How to approach the root causes.
  • Reflective. Importance of reflecting and asking ‘why?’
