Assessment & the Art of Lazy Teaching
- Started on pots and pans and moved to drums!!
- Popping candy for the brain. Use of assessment strategies in the whole process of learning.
- Like being taught by someone who knows more than me.
- Ok to sit through Tony’s lessons in future. Bloody good job, Sir!
- I feel inspired to adapt my teaching to be more aspirational. Thoroughly enjoyable.
- A mole being given lens wipes to clean glasses!
- Loads of wonderful strategies and resources. Very informative and interactive session.
- Expert learning traits and using them in a systematic way.
- I’m definitely going to use all the strategies and activities with new learners. I’m itching to implement as many as possible next academic year. Keep up the good work. You has us engaged from beginning to the end.
- Excellent session showing the real meaning and purpose of assessment.
- Very valuable lessons learnt.
- Discovering a new way on the map to assessment.
- I liked the cards – providing bitesize ideas to inspire lesson activities for assessment.
- Inspirational, motivating.
- Different approach to theory lessons for motor vehicle students.
- By using a number of the strategies to plan, execute and reflect each half term. Focus on January.
- Learning is like a search for hidden treasure.
- Learning is like collecting seashells. There are lots of unique things to learn and we collect them as we go through life.
- I feel this is a good resource to use and not overly time consuming. A good tool for those that struggle with lesson planning.
- Exciting. TAL will replace TLA
- Interesting and motivating, it’s nice to blow the cobwebs out.
- Adding FA in each task, adding interesting activities – learners’ experience. Thank you. Interesting session.
- Equipped with tools. The learning objective will be different. More training like this please. It increased my future strategies of planning, delivering and evaluating the lessons.
Lots more assessment methods and ideas. Motivating and energising. Innovative. New enthusiasm. - A deluge of ideas. (I need time to process all the ideas discovered today). To think about the learning outcomes differently when planning lessons.
- A fantastic presenter and loved the ideas.
- Waking up to new ideas. Trying and testing new ideas with technology such as WIKI. The resources on the website are very useful and accessible.
- Informative – an eye opener to teaching. I can use the skills I have learnt today in my position of a TA2, where I will be covering many different lessons.
- A million dollars (Metaphorically speaking) Thank you.
- Informative in a fun way. Different types of formative assessments. I enjoyed this session and will apply strategies learnt to my learners.
- A rollercoaster of creative types of assessments. This is the icing on the cake. To use the different ways in which assessment can be done. For example, DEFINITELY using “mobile documentary” during a lesson.
- I’m definitely going to use all the strategies and activities with new learners. I’m itching to implement as many as possible next academic year. Keep up the good work. You has us engaged from beginning to the end.
Inspiring Induction Practices
- A journey that became more and more enlightening as we went along.
- Like Alice falling into the rabbit hole.
- Eye opening. Shook up my ideas for creating engaging and stimulating induction activities.
- I think today went really well and I got insight into things that I did not consider before.
- It was amazing day for me!
- Mind Opening.
- A blossoming flower.
- Inspired to change practices or at least reflect on current practices to make sure my teaching does what it says on the tin!
- Alice in Wonderland.
- Opened our mind with new ideas and looking at things.
- Inspired to try new techniques with my members of staff and encouraging them to take risks. Brilliant.
- Mad, thoughtful and though provoking.
- Induction has a much wider effect on the year than most have given it credit for.
- Being permitted to be creative.
- What I took away from today is that we need to keep the learners motivated and how to use the thin scheme of work to plan when this motivation is necessary.
- Better understanding of my role.
- My takeaway is that students need to feel happy and respected in order to have the ability to feel motivated and learn.
- Allowing staff to take ownership of their induction. To implement more creative elements into the induction period to improve motivation and thus attendance, results, etc.
- The importance of getting it right from the start.
- Learnt how to work professionally with other staff and students.
- It was fascinating to see the way that the technology could be used to create an interactive online learning experience.
- Really enjoyable staff development. Tony was knowledgeable and engaging.
- Thank you for a very interesting and engaging day. I have learnt a lot and I am now motivated to motivate my new learners in the new academic year!
- Thank you very much for a wonderful day.
- I enjoyed the overall experience and learnt how to use wiki and the Jamboard for the fist time. I though this was great way for all the teams to interact and I loved the ‘anonymous animal names’ taking pressure off myself as an individual, not knowing anyone, and not wanted to make a mistake in front of my new peers/ work colleagues.
