The document discusses plans to implement a two-week "Teaching and Learning Fortnight" where all staff will observe colleagues teach in order to share best practices across the school. The objective is for 100% of teaching to be rated as good or outstanding. Recent research shows that teachers improve the most in their first few years, so the goal is to continually support teachers' development. Feedback from staff surveys indicated interest in observing other subjects. The fortnight will provide structured time for observations, discussions, and reflection to create a more learning-centered school.

Moving forward Teaching and Learning CIP Objective 2a: All staff confident in planning and delivering a good or outstanding lesson in order to achieve 100% good or outstanding teaching under September 2012 Ofsted criteria. Found at S:CIP
Recent research on effect of practice • Currently all teachers slow, and most actually stop, improving after two or three years in the classroom • Expertise research therefore suggests that they are only beginning to scratch the surface of what we are capable of • There is no limit to what we can achieve if we support teachers in the right way. What is the right way?
Where have we come from? • Swanmore Seven • CPL Sessions • Leading learning for others • Personalised CPL • Created T&L Newsletters, Blog etc. • Top Tips • QA Systems in place
How do we become a Learning Centred School? Not because we are not good enough because we can be better!

Teaching and Learning Fortnight Objective To share good practices of teaching and learning across the college. How to leave a boring class in style
Why are we doing this? Seeing others teaching in other subject areas Staff Survey, Oct 2012
Survey Results Staff Survey, Oct 2012
Learning and Teaching Fortnight When? 4th February – 14th February 2013 •During a non contact lesson you and a colleague will make 2 x 20 minute visits to another class to observe another teach. •Between the lessons and afterwards you and the other observer will discuss key points.
How? • Names/ schedule will be published in January of who is observing who. • Intention is that both Monday meetings over these two weeks will be cancelled to allow quality time to reflect and feedback.
Where? • Feedback in staff room with biscuits and tea provided on: Tuesday, Wednesday (1st week.) Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (2nd week)
PLEASE NOTE This is nothing to do with Performance Management – it is purely a tool to share the very best of practice. No gradings will be given. Any observation notes belong to the observed.
And finally • This is to share the very best of practice and to allow us to be more confident when observers walk in. • This may be your ideal opportunity to showcase some work you have been doing and take that risk! You will get out of this what you put in.

Editor's Notes

  • #3: What we need is to persuade those with a real passion for working with young people to become teachers, and to continue to improve as long as they stay in the job.
