Developing and sharing good practice in teaching and learning through the GADd

GADd: Where did we start from?

• Already working with Paul Ginnis – learning styles and thinking skills

• Paul Ginnis worked with schools for 3 years• Visits outside the area – Cramlington High

School, Villiers High School

• Other external advisors e.g. Christine Harrison (King’s College AfL), Alistair Smith (Accelerated Learning), Shirley Clarke,

• Shared some good practice from within our own schools

• MR working for WAG/ACCAC – kn and u of future curriculum changes esp. Next slide

2004 +

Revision of the National Curriculum in Wales

Focus of any new curriculum should be one that developed skills, especially thinking skillsAssessment should be formative throughout a key stage (AfL)

Developments since

GADd Time Line

• ED – fast forward through key developments / focus since 2005/2006

• BC? Informal input on where we’re at now – inc grwp llywio (this group might be a combination )

• Math o ‘brofiad’ – diwrnod GADd + pecyn / gweithredu dilynol.

What we gained: GADd• Opportunity to share and develop together

(Schools and advisers) – increased confidence

• Improved working relationships – everyone in the same boat

• Sharing a known common goal• Improved knowledge and understanding –

ready for Sept 08 and beyond• Contributing to whole school development -

not just subjects• Ready to support developments in schools

What we learnt:

• People can’t change overnight – takes time to get around established systems (team and schools)

• We need to adapt what we’re doing already• Review approaches – changing ‘how’• More difficult to respond to a generic (non-

subject/cross-sector) based focus – subjects /sectors working together

What next for this group?

• Activity to get them to think about the whole ‘learning’ agenda (bar diagram task) in order to reach what? Why? How? Activity.
