Assessment & the Art of Lazy Teaching
- Thank you Tony, another inspiring session.
- Excellent session. It exceeded my expectations. Fantastic collaborative activities, very well presented and managed, inspiring. It was so engaging that time flew by and I have learnt so much in one training session, I can now cascade to colleagues.
- I went in for a pint of milk and left with a trolley full of things I didn’t know I needed but that will be essential – Not a metaphor, but this is how I felt after this session!
- Although I feel I have a good understanding of formative assessment, there were so many other ideas I took away from this training which I can share with our team of tutors. I will encourage tutors to study each of the assessment strategy cards and use whichever is most appropriate depending on what learning traits we are looking to develop.
Learning Outcomes for Independent Learning
- Climbing a tree – started off struggling to reach the branches of technology, but soon found myself able to move around from branch to branch.
- Encouraging learners to take charge of their own learning, using evaluative language and at the end of sessions as well as recapping give learners the opportunity to critically reflect on the session outcomes, to name but a few
The Art of Using Target Setting
- I no longer teach as I have moved into management many years ago. I want to teach again after today’s session.
- Encouragement to be more innovative when target setting.
- Using Aspirational, Techniques and Progression as a template for target setting.
- ‘Ping’ moment!
- Very interesting. Great ideas. Easy to understand what changes I can bring to target setting.
- Helped me understand and review my own planning and target setting.
- [I need to] Review lesson plans to identify improvements. Loved the Art of Target Setting activity.
- Really enjoyed training and will help my own planning.
- I will look at different strategies in teaching and learning in which way to set targets.
- Don’t judge a book by its cover!! Ofsted & SMART doesn’t make you inspired. The actual session did.
- I will ask the learners to discuss (maybe in their own language, even in their own time) what they want from the course (ESOL) and that will inform my target-setting with individuals.
- Refreshing look at target setting.
- Enlightening.
- Worth every minute. Inspirational.
- [I need to] Create some ‘getting to know you’ activities in order to understand learners better and where they’re coming from – with the intention of inspiring them with more personal targets.
- Inspirational.
- After many session given by SCLs on target setting, it was useful to have a fresh approach on this subject area.
- The matching game makes you really think, which is good.
- Absolutely great lesson, provided clarity and very concise ides.
- He is a brainbox.
- A laboratory.
- Consider more ambitious targets – link them to personal goals. Really enjoyed the session. Very interesting – a lot to think about.
- Inspirational.
- Excellent session. Inspirational speaker.
- Wiping the mist and fog away from inspection and the muddy waters of target setting.
- [I need to] Take more time – consider – keep aspiration at the forefront. It was inspirational. Great examples and tasks used.
- Refreshing and inspiring.
- Factor in more ‘curiosity’ – create more of this. Aspiration – how to bring this out in each learner.
Perfecting Self-Assessment Writing
- Every session I have attended with Tony has been excellent, inspiring and really makes me reflect on our current practice, providing plenty of ways on how we can improve. Excellent, thank you.
- It was like cracking a code, now everything makes sense.
- It was very inspiring. I will revisit our SAR and check that all our judgements have a “however” statement that focusses on what is stopping it from being outstanding. Also will have a closer look at our surveys to ensure they are not just aiming at getting a “pat in the back”, but that really informs us on what is working and what we need to get better at.
- I think all the notes I made during the session and the resources provided by Tony is all what I need to help me review and improve our SAR.
Tools for Online Engagement & Blended Learning
- It’s like someone has opened the curtains in a dark room and I can see the light.
- Feel 100% more confident in using technology that is new to me.
- Tony you’re inspiring – this session has impacted on me greatly and I can’t wait to start implementing what I have learnt today when I cascade this to tutors (after further practise). Well and truly taken out of my comfort zone – thank you.
