We line up at the end of each break for years 7-9 as a clear way to signal the end of unstructured time and find it really helps the shift from social time to lesson time.

Thanks Rob
Our HoD is thinking of moving to it for September.
Have you found it useful for use in lessons too?

We’ve focussed on three things:
Modelling
Questioning
Checking for understanding

This week, we’ve looked at using a hinge question.

Having a consistent, easy to use T&L guide has been invaluable for us. Plus, SLT roam each lesson and feed back to HoDs where they have or haven’t seen what we have worked on.

Also, make sure that it is a small thing that people can use straight away.

Staff come to our board room during their tutor groups assembly time. Roughly 10 mins input and then 10 mins to plan in to use later that day and beyond. All staff get the same session over the course of a week. :)

That is seriously impressive. I was pleased with my 8/10 this week!

Hope all is good!

I’m pretty sure that you can get an external mic for an iPad that will improve sound quality.
