CURRICULUM CONNECTIONS

Over four sessions, ‘Fast Feedback’ authors Gemma and Lesley share how to create a culture of learning and feedback to improve effectiveness and pupil outcomes. Aimed at primary school leaders and teachers, each session will provide insight into relevant research and share practical tips and strategies for you to implement something similar in your own setting. The sessions are designed to build upon one another but can be accessed as independent units.

SESSION 2 - EFFECTIVE LEARNERS

In this session we build upon the idea that as well as having the right mindset, other skills of learning need to be developed with pupils. Guiding pupils to understand how they learn best and become aware of their own strengths and areas to develop is key to developing independent, reflective learners with ownership over their learning. Considering the work of Guy Claxton and the Education Endowment Foundation, we explore the meaning of metacognition (or ‘learning to learn’) and what leads to truly effective learning. Through workshop activities, participants will gain insights about themselves and about their pupils as learners. They will work on practical ideas to develop pupil learning, which can be taken and used in the classroom.
