HoT Learning
- Everything becomes connected. Made me nervous/excited about continuing to develop my teaching and learning.
- I will now approach my lesson planning using the (HoT Learning) model.
- Made me really think!
- Let the sun shine.
- Made me think about how I teach and how to improve.
- Inspiring.
- Like jumping into a plungepool – feeling more revitalised.
- Dancing my way to success.
- It’s not what you do, it’s the impact you have.
- The mist has cleared!
- Teaching an old dog new tricks!
- It’s inspired me to explore outstanding ways of teaching.
- Plan differently (aspirationally).
- Clearest explanation I have had to date of what an outstanding lesson is.
- Clear and concise. I have the desire to plan sessions in a different way.
- I feel like I have had a large can of red bull.
- Feel enthused and thinking about possible strategies for improvement.
HoT2 – Techniques for engaging learners
- Exciting session which I was fully engaged in. On reflection in the tea break, I realised I was ‘zoning’!
- Blue sky thinking!
Implementing Live Self Assessment
- The best input we’ve had by miles!
- Moving from black and white to Technicolor.
- Made me look at the real issues I need to consider.
- A journey into the unknown (or rather something I thought I knew but actually didn’t).
- My head is spinning with ideas.
- I’ve walked around the mammoth with my knife and fork and I’ve a good idea how I’m going to eat it, although I’ve decided my cutlery is not fit for purpose.
The Self-Assessment Flip
- Lightbulb moment!
- I now feel confident to begin writing my first SAR.
- We liked the impact assessment tool.
- Huge impact.
Transformational Lesson Observation
- The exercises were a brilliant tool to realise and understand the positive impact of standards on performance and strategy.
- Like a penny that has been polished and revalued.
- Illuminating – I have not done an observation before. I will talk less and listen more.
- Let there be light.
- It was “unmissable”.
- I’ve been observing for many years and have been involved in double observations as part of Ofsted inspections. Having a significant rethink now re my impact judgements.
- I was in the ‘zone’.
- Quite a few meerkat moments!
- Opening of a flower in spring.
- Helped me reflect on our current (observation) system that does not improve T&L.
- Inspiring to see some people challenging the system.
- Windscreen wiper moment.
- Inspirational and encouraging knowing what observations could and can be.
- Changing trains – changing perspectives.
- This session really helped me be more objective.
- Opens the mind.
- It has opened my eyes and I’m going to have to re-think my own style of assessing/teaching in order to be an effective observer.
- It has focused me on the learning impact and judgements words to help guide the evaluation and grade.
- Provided an excellent insight into what impact a lesson has on the learning journey.
- This session encouraged me to think about learner outcomes. In courage me to see observation in a different and effective way.
- I now have a better idea about how to focus on impact.
- I feel inspired to develop my own teaching sessions based on what I’ve learned.
“Yes, were all individuals” Bryan, 1979
- Really enjoyed the participation and being included, even though I am not teaching staff.
- Nothing worthwhile comes easy.
- Very interesting to explore differentiation examples from both Tony and my peers.
