Getting pupils to work silently for a full period with not much opportunity for pupil voice or pupil led learning

One departmental curriculum path will suit all classes/staff

The idea that it's better if teachers just "give" pupils analysis to learn rather than helping them to develop ideas themselves (in the context of English teaching in particular.)

Not open to change - "stuck" in the same way we have always done things

Building confidence to lead. Helping pupils to drop inhibitions.

Why change how something is taught if it works in relation to avoiding using Technology/iPads in learning. Sticking to traditional methods of teaching and learning

Children must show respect always and can’t express themselves to adults as it’s seen as being cheeky/disrespectful

2022-01-18 16:58:31 UTC

The belief that our learners won’t achieve as much (or as quickly) as their peers in more affluent areas

Teacher always doing the display

Belief to challenge #1: Lesson observations are to judge or grade lessons, not to help teachers improve teaching

assessing pupils on their literacy and numeracy skills only - and using this to record HGiOS
