Thank you for replying. Do they include teaching videos from the primary classroom?

Is there anyone on here that would be able/willing to share any videos of good practise that I could unpick with my staff. Thank you! #edusky #eduskyprimary

However at current school, which is very settled, with strong foundations and far less pressure for rapid change - absolutely not appropriate. All depends on context and need.

Booklets bring out strong emotions! When I was AHT in a struggling school that needed to make rapid improvements, they were brilliant. Really clear curriculum pathways which reduced the cognitive loads for staff who were dealing with lots of change through necessity. They could focus on enactment…

Reflecting on number 5 - we definitely need to remember to raise each other up. For the first time I am working in an entirely female workforce and my EHT is brilliant at this. The culture is therefore there -women championing and supporting each other.

We will be reviewing it very frequently though as we are only just starting full implementation with NCETM so it may evolve!

We are using the curriculum prioritisation as our starting point and then cross referencing with Oak National at the moment. I really like the pd materials and used them a lot in previous roles…

In my experience women have not always helped this situation. My husband and I both started teaching at the same time in the same school. He had a far easier time with older female members of staff than I did. As a leader I am hyper aware of this now.

1 - shocking maternity pay if you choose to have children
2 - huge childcare costs when you return to work
3 - lack of options for flexible working

As a young female teacher I had to work really hard to have my voice heard by older female colleagues as well as men.

Yes it is great…there was definitely a gap there for a while. NCETM is brilliant for developing subject knowledge but now having Oak National to support with resourcing it is really supporting workload.

We have been looking at Oak National for maths as well. I like the patter of the lesson structure. Am encouraging staff to focus on the enactment of the learning steps and use NCETM professional materials to support them with effective manipulative and representation use alongside Oak resources.

Seven of diamonds -family favourite in our house. After that trumps.

The key thing is that following teachers know what you have done and why because they will have to adapt their planning moving forward to avoid gaps opening up. They can also ensure that they then make deliberate links to prior learning.

I would speak to the rest of your team and look at what objectives are down to be covered within the units which won’t be covered, if you adapt your planning. As long as staff members/subject leads are aware of this then adapting should be fine. Need to be responsive to the need in your class.

Could explain what you mean by topic please? Is it a mixture of different foundation subjects mashed together?
