Assessment & the Art of Lazy Teaching

  • Finally prizing the lid off a box of “useful things” and finding the usefulness of the beads & jewels inside, moving the box to the kitchen table to use more often.
  • Taking the blinkers off a cynical horse.
  • Waking up and finding a box of chocolates.
  • Breath of fresh air. Nice to have some face-to-face training from an outside source.
  • Excellent fun, informative and useful.
  • “It’s not about me (teacher), it’s about you (learner)!”
  • I am looking forward to adapting some of my future lessons that I have taught the same way for years.
  • The assessment strategies – using multiple assessment strategies – and how easy to plan them.
  • A better understanding of what the purpose of assessment is and further tools.
  • That lessons should be more focused on learners’ understanding through work they complete rather than teacher-led.
  • To not be scared to be more versatile in my assessment strategies.
  • Research lessons. Try new things more often and intentionally.
  • Enlightening, thought-provoking.
  • Really want to integrate into lessons.
  • This was absolutely inspiring – by far the best, if not the only staff development session – Ever.
  • Reminded me that I am doing a good job and my methods and ideas are good!!
  • A rollercoaster of fun! Loved it!
  • Bird in a cage, door opened…
  • Excellent session, great subject expertise and a real eye opening session. Fab!
  • Thinking about the ‘difference’ and not the ‘stuff’. New assessment strategies.
  • I have taken away new learning assessments that I will use within my teaching.
  • Write a learner experience not lesson plan.
  • Would say it is a meal well worth waiting for as I enjoyed it a lot.
  • I am starting my teaching journey so felt like a sponge absorbing all information.
  • The concept of formalising ‘RESEARCH LESSONS’ to experiment with new ideas.
  • Move away from teach (tell) and check. How do you want them to be different at the end of the lesson?
  • It was like a box of chocolates … I didn’t know what was coming next!
