Moving online should ensure widen the audience exposed to good quality subject specific training.

Sharing the very best practice.

I'm nervous about capturing the conversations happening in the classrooms and making sure that the classroom conversations stay on track and are purposeful.

Breakout rooms in teams? Does it work on an ipad?

Engagement is important (use a range & plan moments of interaction)

Contract expectations

Model what you want to see

Get the participants to model as students

Thinking time is really important - the silence might seem intense online but is really important.

Build up to an opportunity for a more prolonged discussion around how the content is implemented in their school. Padlet is easy to set up. Even I can do this.

High expectations - cameras, mics

Intentional monitoring. Keep notes of names and who has contributed.

Range of activities

Modes of participation. Jot down first thoughts, turn and talk in break out rooms, cold call in main room.

Use the functionality on teams. Break out rooms, chat, polls etc.

Practice before the first session.

Time checks throughout the session.

1. Insist on cameras

2. Use functions on teams e.g. break out rooms

3. If possible use 2 screens

4. Use intentional monitoring to ensure all schools contribute and have voices heard

5. Have start points and stick to timings to ensure smooth sessions

6. Clear instructions and display these on the board

Key ideas:

Ensure you are leading and being bold in sessions. Make sure that you make expectations and climate for sessions clear

Timings are important - be clear and stick to them.

Contracts with HODs 1st to ensure expectations.

Use the functions on teams

Use online tools

Use intentional monitoring - multiple screens, one to one entry

Oops

If something doesn’t work - move on

Learners are learners

Stick to timings
