1. What’s in the curriculum? Does everyone know the big picture and the details? 
2. What are the parameters for autonomy and collective action? 
3. How far do we prescribe the enacted curriculum: What should be included in typical lesson sequences?
4. Are we using sound evidence-based practice in our teaching? 
There so many areas of sound instructional practice that teachers should know about. For example:
Rosenshine’s Principals of Instruction 
Evidence-informed ideas every teacher should know about.
How is everyone doing in the team, engaging with these ideas and putting them into practice? Is there a set of ideas relevant to our subject or year that we all discuss using a shared language?
5. Are we clear on the team focus and each individual’s focus for CPD and deliberate practice?
Every team and everyone in a team should have an agenda for professional learning and deliberate practice. It could be that there’s a strong collaboratively determined shared agenda so that people can support each other in improving in a specific area; it could be that each person has their own CPD needs to agreed. The question is whether this is all explicit, agreed and planned. Planned! You don’t get better by accident….it needs sustained focus and attention over time.

6. Have we got assessment right, balancing formative and summative information and workload? 
7. Are we clear what our first-line interventions are? If Michael is behind, what do we do about it? 
8. Have we got a sustainable, effective marking and feedback policy in place? 
9. Are we clear on the parameters and processes of quality assurance – securing high quality outcomes whilst retaining a strongly supportive team culture.? 
10. Are we clear on our immediate priorities and the longer term vision for the team? ]]> 2018-07-19 08:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/southdevon/notestoself/wish/270599886 nhawkins https://padlet.com/southdevon/notestoself/wish/270599904 Positivity

 "If you had to sum up your goal for the session in one sentence what would it be?"

Did they spend the maximum time thinking about what I wanted them to think about this lesson?
Did we specify the key knowledge required for future retrieval practice?
Did we identify and explore the common misconceptions sufficiently well?
Did I tackle the peer-to-peer influences appropriately, minimising any negative over-ride effects relative to my expert instruction?
Did students do enough practice of the right things or do they need more?
As a class are we ready to go further along the concept and knowledge sequence next time?
Do those students who are struggling perhaps need to go back to practise applying more of the previous foundational knowledge in order to build their confidence?
Did we probe and challenge enough so that the more confident students are still being challenged by the material and not simply playing safe?]]> 2018-07-19 08:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/southdevon/notestoself/wish/270599974 nhawkins https://padlet.com/southdevon/notestoself/wish/270600017 From outsmartyourbrain.com

1. To masterfully handle a difficult conversation you need to have a strong belief in the person’s potential to grow and see new possibilities. This will help you to listen deeply and explore the person’s perceptions and emotions as a means for moving forward. 
2. You need to hold a positive emotional tone throughout the conversation no matter what transpires. Be patient, be curious, and care about the success of the person you are with. 
3. Don't resort to telling people what to do when you are uncomfortable, falling into parenting instead of partnering. Remember that it is more important you activate their thinking about what else is possible than to pacify creativity with information and instructions. 
4. People want you to be present more than they need you to be perfect. All humans want to feel heard and understood even if this makes you feel uncomfortable. If you stay the course in a Discomfort Zone conversation, you build trust and security, the essential ingredients needed for someone to feel safe enough to explore their thoughts and emotions with you. Without this, you may get incremental behavioral adjustments but not the breakthrough moments needed for long-lasting, evident change.

a living: it is to join a community, to acquire a culture, to demonstrate a
competence and to forge an identity. It is, in short, to achieve significance,
dignity and self-esteem as a person. (Hargreaves, 1997)]]> 2018-07-19 08:03:52 UTC https://padlet.com/southdevon/notestoself/wish/270600057 nhawkins https://padlet.com/southdevon/notestoself/wish/270600096 Themes from sport/hc&t (tbc)
