Initial Assessment & Differentiation Controversy

  • Providing a life jacket in an ocean of pedagogy.
  • A Eureka moment. Why did I not know this before?
  • I crossed the carpet and left a changed teacher!
  • Too many to list – really useful and informative. Really good CPD for all experience levels.
  • The importance of not always allowing student to hang onto the support until the end.
  • Great delivery/fantastic session.
  • Change of purpose of ILP and IA
  • Another outstanding session that will have impact on my approach. Thank you!
  • I’m in front of a huge appetising buffet I can’t eat all at once.
  • Rethink assumptions – Thank you
  • I took more from this than I expected – really opened my mindset.
  • Walk on the carpet. ‘Experienced’ learners not ‘able’ learners.
  • To continue to have high expectations for all learners. Really focus on the strategies I can use to get all learners to achieve.
  • Great session. Very informative and presented issues that need to be challenged and how to support.
  • SLT to be involved and support key concepts
  • 2nd Session – attended SAR writing other week – both excellent. You talk the right language!

Perfecting Self-Assessment Writing

  • It’s show time! We are ready to step up to the plate.
  • I really like the concept of saying to an inspector that I would like to show you the issue I had, what I did about it and the impact it has had on my learners.
  • This approach provides a framework for affective critical thinking – need to make this happen.
  • Penny dropping.
  • Focus more on questioning the ‘why’ behind judgement.
  • Inspired curiosity and creativity.
  • Curiosity sparked to review and refresh SAR process, engaging with staff team.
  • I will now look for the root cause and take ownership or identify the most appropriate person in my team.
  • Enlightening. This session has highlighted all the elements of SAR and Quip and how to evaluate them in a more informed way. I enjoyed all of this day.
  • I can see clearly now the rain has gone.
  • Different starting points, clearer analysis and actions.
  • Rabbit in headlights – best find the rabbit holes!
  • Much more targeted. Bring teams back in again.
  • Identify the cause and cure the symptom.
  • Now more ownership on ‘causes’ and how to resolve! Look for impact! Relate to the learners. More staff engagement and team ownership.
  • Found the session really useful. Very reflective and have identified many areas to improve!
  • Looked at process completely differently. Really interesting – issue + symptom.
  • Very informative. I will be looking at root-causes more than the symptoms.
  • Sparked thoughtful discussions.
  • Involve the team and have champions. Reduce the document, not enlarge it.
  • Cheap as chips. Logical structure to support ‘cheap’ quality improvement. Really well delivered.
  • Transformational. Will be adopting a more methodical approach to evaluation of performance and identifying key challenges.
  • Really thought provoking and will inform practice.

The CCQI Self-Assessment Strategy

  • Big conversation captured on a simple form.

Transformational Lesson Observation

  • An awakening: what I’ve been doing wrong and what I need to do better.

Supercharged evaluation skills

  • A lightbulb!
  • Excellent and inspiring.
  • Carpet metaphor – I got to the other side!
  • Much better understanding of differentiation and stretch and challenge.
  • A rainbow.
  • Really engaged in the session. This really illustrated for me the students’ experience.
