When you are planning/booking, please make it clear to technicians if you are in a different room as well as which band you have at that time!!

All resources will be printed and in the staff room ahead of time.

Maintain stds of T&L consistency (VC, retrieval, no hands up)
1. Journey of the lesson - how new learning links.
2. Powerful knowledge clear and referred to.
3. Pace moves onto deeper thinking.
4. Know your students +/- from assessment QLA and in-class AFL and act upon it.

Key messages
As well as ensuring the consistency in format please really consider the following points when proof-reading your MTP.
- is the PK statement just the essential facts to know? YES
- does the sequence of PK build on prior statements? YES. (Basically, is it in the right order for the lesson)
- is the vocabulary only tier 2/3? YES
- is it simple? YES
- are there PK repetitions in a sequence of lessons? NO (this is not needed, is it assumed students have learnt the prior knowledge, it will be our spiralized SOL that will support retrieval)

Remember, this IS NOT a scheme of learning. Is it quite simply the factual knowledge that the students need to know. The descriptions, explanations and application comes in the SOL/VC ppt/your teaching :)

Hi all,
Just a quick reminder to hand out Practical Pro tickets at any opportunity in your practical/skills based lessons.

There were loads in the black box in the foyer this week, amazing to see students still so engaged in the scheme and their science studies!

To aid the Visualiser session, if you already have a way of using them, please bring a resource/s along to S2 and we will do a show and tell. Play teacher with us! The more ideas we have the more use we get from it and then you will be free to get on with your development tasks.

WOTW Perseverance... much needed in the coming weeks, as professionals, we all work hard to juggle teaching, transition events, trips, marking and development time. Ensure you are working efficiently and SMART. Set time aside for each task and consider a timetable for yourself. At the end of each working day I plan ahead each 30min slot in my day, prioritising urgent tasks but ensuring the important ones get my attention too. This will help you conserve your energy and have the "tick it off the list" feeling :)
Priority- Y12 PP2, then Y10 mocks with gained time tasks interweaved  for a change in task.
