I've learned that effective learning objectives should be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. When writing objectives, use action verbs from Bloom's Taxonomy to clearly state what students will be able to do by the end of the lesson.

Emphasise critical thinking skills alongside traditional knowledge. Use Bloom's Taxonomy to create objectives that progress from basic understanding to higher-order thinking. For example: 'By the end of the lesson, students will be able to analyse the causes of climate change in Central Asia.'

Sharing objectives in a student-friendly language increases engagement. Instead of 'Students will comprehend the water cycle,' try 'You will be able to explain how water moves through our environment using diagrams and your own words.'

Always pair objectives with clear success criteria. Create 'I can' statements with students. For example: 'I can solve quadratic equations using three different methods and explain which method works best for different situations.'

Use exit tickets to verify if objectives were met. I ask my students to rate their understanding on a scale of 1-5 and provide evidence of their learning. This helps me adjust my teaching strategies for the next lesson.

Regularly review each other's learning objectives. This collaborative approach helps ensure our objectives are challenging yet achievable. Consider starting a similar practice with your colleagues!

I use digital tools like Google Classroom and Padlet to track and share objectives with students and parents. This transparency helps everyone understand what we're working towards and creates a supportive learning environment.

Consider organising workshops with colleagues to practice writing effective objectives. Meet monthly to share best practices and review our objective-setting strategies. This continuous improvement approach has greatly benefited our teaching community.

Keep a teaching journal to reflect on which objectives worked well and which needed adjustment. I've found this practice invaluable for improving my objective-setting skills over the years. Share your insights during department meetings!

Each group will create an interactive ‘stall’ that showcases their learning and findings.

Stalls should be engaging, informative, and reflective, ideas could incorporate:
1. A summary of the group’s learning journey
2. Practical takeaways and examples of best practice
3. Interactive elements (e.g., demonstrations, discussions, mini-workshops, posters, handouts, digital resources)

Each group should prepare a very short introduction to their Essential and stall - this should be an explanation of what people can find at your stall.

Staff will rotate around the marketplace to engage with different stalls, gaining insights from colleagues’ experiences.

Establish group focus and outline key learning from the year.

1. Introduction to the Marketplace format and expectations.

2. Groups discuss their BlueSky goals and how they align with their Teaching and Learning Essential.

3. Identify key learning experiences, successes, and challenges from the year.

4. Initial brainstorming:

What message do we want to convey at our stall?

What strategies, tools, or practices have been most effective?

What resources or evidence (e.g., student work, data, research) can support our insights?

Expectations for Groups:

Collaborate effectively in the lead-up CPD sessions.

Ensure a clear and concise presentation of key learning points.

Encourage interaction by designing an engaging and accessible stall.

Be prepared to answer questions and discuss insights with colleagues.

Use visual and digital tools where appropriate to enhance engagement.
