Mid Kent College
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.
Inspiring Induction Practices
- My brain is a sponge, soaking up all the awesome ideas.
- A breath of fresh air.
- Cliffhangers for the end of lessons, canyon-hangers for the end of terms.
- We were on fire!
- Planning a consistent engaging induction.
- Rollercoaster
- Putting more excitement into context.
- Climbing a mountain using an escalator.
- Self reflection – reminded of core values that made me a teacher.
- Thank you. I am very grateful that you liked my definition of resilience.
- Exhilarating.
- New ideas and techniques for induction.
- Plan for the differences, not the objectives.
- Opened more doors of thought.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment.
- Thought provoking.
- Slowly sinking in. Finally got it.
- 3 types of difference I can make the life of my pupils cognitive, physical and attitude.
- Motivate them from the first day of the course.
- Dislocating from the norm and creating unmissable lesson.
- As a member of support staff, I found the session inspiring with so many questions and answers, as well as continued thought provoking things.
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?’
