2. Learning Intention: To define strategies for ensuring quality first teaching enables all pupils to make good progress in lessons Context: Mathematical understanding and problem solving and SOLO StS: Take notes and compare these with face/shoulder partner Engage positively in practical tasks / discussions Identify 3 key teaching strategies from the session to take away and use Decide on a timescale for implementation of key strategies Co-ordinate a leadership discussion within phase teams which will evaluate the success of the INSET and next steps for teams Create a check list of non-negotiables linked to INSET focus Explain clearly with teams the benefits of developing differentiated LIs and StS Organise self evaluation activities with dates and deadlines for monitoring the effectiveness of learning for all pupils using agreed systems @carpenter_rob robcarpenter.org.uk18/04/2015

3. “Excellent teachers create climates for learning which engender confidence and motivation among all learners. Critically, there is no fear of failure because teachers and pupils alike support one another’s triumphs and disasters” Roy Blatchford (The Restless School) @carpenter_rob robcarpenter.org.uk18/04/2015

10. Why We Need To Get Learning Intentions Right 18/04/2015@carpenter_rob robcarpenter.org.uk

11. Learning Intentions Key Word DefinitionBenefits Learning Intention ‘A learning intention describes what pupils should know, understand or be able to do by the end of the lesson’ (Learning Unlimited, 2004) An outcome What the student should be able to do at the end Goal ‘What’ and ‘Why’ Children are more focussed Develops a learning culture Behaviour improves as their task focuses increases Children persevere for longer They have greater ownership Children show greater enthusiasm @carpenter_rob robcarpenter.org.uk18/04/2015

12. Product vs. Process LI: To create suspense within my build up Context: Dragon writing Outcome:Steps to Success: your writing will frighten the reader Use short or single word sentences Withhold detail from the reader Use powerful verbs and adjectives to describe @carpenter_rob robcarpenter.org.uk18/04/2015

23. Why We Do This… The Tail & Unemployment The path which awaits a young person who leaves school without the minimum attainment is at best confusing and at worst grim, with a significant minority immediately entering the ranks of the jobless and probably destined for long-term unemployment. We now have a good idea of what happens to the forty per cent who do not achieve five good GCSEs. If you are part of this group then there is a greater than one in four chance that two years later you will not be in any kind of employment, education or training (NEET). If you were one of those (nearly four per cent) who had gained no GCSEs at all, there was a greater than one in two chance that you would be NEET. The Tail & Crime Poor literacy and numeracy may also lead to crime. One in two of the prison population has literacy skills below that of an eleven year-old; sixty-five per cent cannot count to the standard expected of an eleven year-old. Of those who rioted in 2011 and had taken GCSEs, only one in ten had achieved five good grades @carpenter_rob robcarpenter.org.uk18/04/2015
