1) Professor Robin Alexander's research aims to re-conceptualize pedagogy and curriculum by criticizing how teaching has been studied separately from a causal lens and failing to integrate factors into a coherent whole.
2) He problematizes reductionist models of teaching like scripted instruction and bipolar models that oversimplify pedagogy.
3) Alexander develops a comparative analysis of teaching across five countries to understand it as a cultural act involving discourses and political/conceptual spaces, not just observable practices.

The document outlines numeracy skills across different subject lessons and provides recommendations to improve numeracy. It shows the number of lessons for different subjects at the school, with 200 total lessons including 24 math lessons. To strengthen numeracy, it advises teachers to incorporate more numeracy-based tasks in lessons, encourage mental math over calculators, have students calculate their own scores and percentages, and use at least two numeracy tasks per class weekly. A numeracy folder is also available on the school's shared drive.
The document discusses using feedback systems like "pink points" to involve all pupils in reading, responding to, and acting on feedback from their classwork and homework both in class and at home.

This document proposes a new professional learning model called "TL Tea Party" for teachers and teaching assistants. The model would involve three meetings per term where participants choose from pre-selected discussion topics related to teaching best practices. Participants would share ideas, findings, and questions within their small groups. The goal is to foster sharing of best practices across departments and use action research to improve teaching focus areas and professional goals.
This document outlines a new model for professional development meetings called CPL TEACH MEET/TEA PARTY at Swanmore College. The meetings will be held three times per term over tea and biscuits.

The goals are to informally and collaboratively share best practices across departments in a timely manner.
