Presentation by Philippa Cordingley for the Nuneaton Army Education 

This session: 

  • Focussing on aspirations for learners 
  • Unpicking a couple of real world examples of teachers using evidence to enhance their own and learning
  • Another example
  • Our ideas about what make great teaching based on experience and case studies
  • What evidence tells us about what makes great teaching
  • What evidence tells us about how we develop as teachers
  • A metaphor

 

Peer Review

Are you looking to work together with fellow schools to evaluate your practice in a mutually-beneficial partnership? CUREE's programme for Peer Review training draws on successes in conducting over 60 school reviews, all scaffolded by research-based tools and expertise in helping leaders use them, to support colleagues in conducting impactful Peer Reviews.

Gender and mathematics: what can research tell us about how we teach mathematics to boys and girls?

Aim: The project had three quite distinct aims: 1) To identify from existing research literature what is known about gender differences in learning mathematics at secondary school - no attempt was made to establish any new insights; 2) To elicit, through interviews, the perceptions that a group of mathematics teachers had concerning the impact of gender on learning mathematics; and 3) To use the contrasts and similarities between the findings of the research and the outcomes of the interviews, as astimulus for the development of classroom teaching.

Developing Individual Education Plan Targets within Whole School Assessment Procedures

Aim: To investigate the nature of the demands arising from the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators' (SENCO) involvement in setting, communicating and reviewing Individual Education Plan (IEP) targets in a High School, and to consider possible ways in which effective target setting for students with IEPs in a High School can help to maximise achievement through becoming an integral part of school assessment procedures.

Enabling enhanced Mathematics teaching with interacive whiteboards

Aims of the Project: To develop a PD tool that focuses on using interactive whiteboard technology effectively to enhance mathematics teaching To inform and extend previous research into the effective use of interactive technologies in Mathematics classrooms Two key questions focused the discussion and research during the project: What makes an effective resource that stimulates learning when using an interactive whiteboard? How can teachers develop their skills so they can create/use resources of this nature?"
