This is done, but maybe not enough. Use the Learning Hive when planning to think about opportunities for children to develop learning skills. In order for this to be successful, PD to be provided and leaders at all levels to focus heavily on the planning stages. Teachers to collaborate frequently and give critical feedback to each other. Work together, and plan enough in advance to allow time to adapt and change plans accordingly. Staff to be given concrete examples by observing/ team teaching.

Teachers need to promote reading and communicating students home language as some students feel shy/ashamed to speak or read in their own language.

The language will have its existence only when we speak it or else slowly it will be no more be heard.

Move away from the idea of putting on a 'show' for an observation lesson and more to a climate of continually improving practice by giving feedback in a way which builds confidence. Postcards in learning walks are sometimes not well-received because they often point out an EBI which may not be relevant in that lesson and staff do not always feel they have the opportunity to discuss this. Re-think how to feedback in learning walks. When a person is asked to re-do a lesson, there needs to always be some input of support between the 1st and 2nd observation. ]]> 2018-05-10 07:26:05 UTC https://padlet.com/principal_gfs/ox18h9wnrbig/wish/259536464 2.1.5 Attendance and Punctuality k_king_gfs https://padlet.com/principal_gfs/ox18h9wnrbig/wish/259537030 GFS could have more procedures in place to tackle this, supported by SLT. For example, letters sent home to children who are late/absent too many times, signed by SLT. Teachers email parents of children who are consistently late but they don't take it too seriously.

Similarly, there needs to be some repercussions for parents who consistently pick up their children 20 minutes or more after the end of the day. E.g. an after-school club. Children are checked in at 2.20 or 2.30pm and parents accounts are charged. This may discourage the parents who leave children in the late room until up to 3pm. Parents do not even apologise for being late most days and this needs to be something staff are supported with.

Teachers plan there lesson as who is coming for observation and not as per the requirement . The leaders have their own ways of thinking. Eg: have a WILF always displayed throughout the lessons as some says its ok if you have introduced at the beginning.
It will be helpful if all the teacher are given a proper training on the clarity with the WALT and WILF and also how to frame WILF as per the class needs.

There have been too many occasions where leaders are communicating conflicting information. I sometimes find myself questioning “does anybody know what is going on?”
I think that different leaders have different expectations and this is particularly apparent in their observations, therefore teachers can find themselves planning for a lesson observation to meet the preferences of the observer. Teachers often “put on a show” because there is so much focus on lesson observations. Whereas it should just be more normal for leaders to be in and out of classrooms and learning walks should be used more often, but as actual learning walks not observations as some leaders appear to confuse the two. If learning walks were to be more frequent it might create a better relationship between leaders and teachers and become more normal to have them in our classrooms. ]]> 2018-05-10 11:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/principal_gfs/ox18h9wnrbig/wish/259568998 Innovation, enterprise, enquiry, research, critical thinking and use of learning technologies https://padlet.com/principal_gfs/ox18h9wnrbig/wish/259580643 Students are

To me this explanation of PS1.1 is clearer than the original, involving more than just the student/s. - ALICE ]]> 2018-06-30 04:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/principal_gfs/ox18h9wnrbig/wish/269013755 ps1 https://padlet.com/principal_gfs/ox18h9wnrbig/wish/269014114 2018-06-30 04:56:02 UTC https://padlet.com/principal_gfs/ox18h9wnrbig/wish/269014114 PS1.2 https://padlet.com/principal_gfs/ox18h9wnrbig/wish/269014115 How would you regularly monitor students' progress? Through various assessments? Regular checking of notebooks? Could it be mentioned in the PS1.2?
Otherwise very clear and straightforward. - ALICE 9A]]> 2018-06-30 04:56:03 UTC https://padlet.com/principal_gfs/ox18h9wnrbig/wish/269014115 PS1.3: https://padlet.com/principal_gfs/ox18h9wnrbig/wish/269014359 "To embed the Learning Hive into planning so that learning skills become a key feature of lessons and achievements." - Ms. Janet Foley.
Again I find that Ms. Janet's explanation is clearer and easier to understand for students and teachers, contrary to the original.

Another comment that, in my opinion, should be added to the GFS priorities for PS1 is:
"To meet National Agenda for Education targets for new schools." - Ms. Janet Foley.
My only opinion on this is to inform the students /parents / teachers on what that criteria involves. This could be presented as a sheet at the beginning of childrens' notebooks so that they can constantly refer back to it when completing a piece of work. - ALICE 9A. ]]> 2018-06-30 05:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/principal_gfs/ox18h9wnrbig/wish/269014359 PS1 Child Speak: https://padlet.com/principal_gfs/ox18h9wnrbig/wish/269014873 PS1.1: Students should all be able to communicate in one language so that they know their potential, how they are assessed and achievements.
PS1.2: Student achievement to be checked regularly so that students not making enough progress are then supported effectively.
PS1.3: Learning Hive to be used more in lessons with learning skills being constantly recognised in the school community.
