There are lots of positives here already in terms of the resources you’ve been able to source, your development of an MTP you have ownership over etc. We appreciate the time that goes in to the planning and personal study needed to do deliver the lessons. Perhaps when the ML schedule is released any that are not relevant to you and leadership plans you could use for this personal development.

About this audiobook

We all know eloquence when we hear it. But what exactly is it? And how might we gain more of it for ourselves? This entertaining and, yes, eloquent book illuminates the power of language from a linguistic point of view and provides fascinating insights into the way we use words. David Crystal, a world-renowned expert on the history and usage of the English language, probes the intricate workings of eloquence in this lively analysis.

Crystal focuses on the here and now of eloquent speaking—from pitch, pace, and prosody to jokes, appropriateness, and how to wield a microphone. He explains what is going on moment by moment and examines each facet of eloquence. He also investigates topics such as the way current technologies help or hinder our verbal powers, the psychological effects of verbal excellence, and why certain places or peoples are thought to be more eloquent than others. In the core analysis of the book, Crystal offers an extended and close dissection of Barack Obama's electrifying "Yes we can" speech of 2008, in which the president demonstrated full mastery of virtually every

Thanks for meeting today to discuss this term and your progress towards your targets.

You continue to do so much in terms of developing your own subject knowledge using Massolit and the course guides. The course really does require a lot so thank you for your commitment to it.

There are a number of students in Y12 who are on their way to making better than expected progress which is great news. We discussed strategies to ensure that this was the case for 75% or more in line with your data target. Obviously learning from the challenges Y13 have faced is a big one but you also mentioned how you want them to start making links between their planning and responses to impact their commentaries and also how you’d like to embed terminology tests and grammar revision to fill gaps and improve writing.

With regards to your most recent lesson observation, we discussed Hannah’s feedback about how the task of entry should be more in line with the success criteria of the lesson and how moving the matching of concepts/definitions task might have been better placed at the start of the lesson.

We also discussed your Y13 class. The resit results are expected on 10^th January. Worse case scenario would be some of the students might need to resit all 4 papers in summer (potentially Anoushka and Elena). If this was the case we would need to look a how you and students can be supported with time to go back over this content and it not be detrimental to their Y13 content. I’ll share this with Carly and Hannah too.

Moderation with Omar Paul @ CIE

Me and JPE went to CIE to meet with Omar Paul Wohler to moderate Y13 and Y12 papers and we shared resources for Y13. It was great to know that we are on the same path and the same thinking about grades.

Comments from Dept Book Look from CCO

ainker_wso — 2024-04-25 06:09:48 UTC

The KS5 books are presented beautifully with some Y9 students taking less care. I really like how peer/self-assessment is built in to your lessons and evident in both key stages.

Next Steps

Ensure there a SIPs after Y12 CFU’s mocks based on the department design (rubric to highlight strengths) and improvements to highlight.
Encourage more developed RAMP responses from Y9(although it could be this wasn’t evident in language books if students have typed their assignment)

Notes from CCO: Y13-Elena, Anushka and Shaween remain the students of concern. All are resitting AS papers for the third time in May. Provsion as been made for these students to attend Y12 lessons which only Elena has embraced. Ali has delivered additional 1-2-1 sessions when students have missed lessons which is frustrating as the focus is to 'catch up' rather than move forward. The networking session with CIS dept has been really valuable and advice fedforward in to lessons and marking. Shaween is causing an additional concern as he now has an outside tutor who is giving conflicting advice to Ali/Jamie and is challenging to tackle as Mum feels there is a need to continue with it.
