Developing Pedagogy and Curriculum: Using Enquiry to Improve Practice

Pedagogy lies at the heart of what it means to be an excellent teacher. Our challenge is to develop ourselves as reflective practitioners, engaging in an evidence-based approach to successful classroom practices.

This programme will offer practitioners an opportunity to join a research network that seeks to develop an understanding of pedagogical principles through an action research process. In the interests of subsidiarity and developing a local curriculum, practitioners will need to consider areas that they would like to develop.

Practitioners will:

» Be supported by Cardiff University » Work collaboratively to apply the research into

classroom-based practice » Engage in classroom study activities » Engage in joint practice development

Previous attendees have utilised such research to integrate into masters level study.

Putting Families First: Using Parental Engagement to Raise Attainment of All Groups of Learners

One of the enabling objectives of the National Mission is ‘to build strong and inclusive schools committed to excellence, equity and wellbeing’.

This involves working in partnership with a range of stakeholders, particularly parents. One of the most effective means of closing the attainment gap is to build relationships with parents, supporting them with home-learning and key elements of wellbeing.

This programme supports schools in developing this aspect of the wellbeing agenda, focusing particularly on the use of the Family Engagement Officer, and how a whole-school approach can lead to improved learner outcomes. Practical examples and resources will be shared and action plans will be developed to support the next steps for this area of work. Recent research relevant to parental involvement will also be explored.

Making the Curriculum Accessible

How do we link pedagogy and research with provision to ensure that pupils access the curriculum, make excellent progress and fulfil their potential?

Many pupils have a wide range of Additional Learning Needs (ALN) and might have issues in fully accessing the curriculum. A secondary school should be able to choose from a range of different tools to secure a highly effective learning environment whilst promoting wellbeing and equity for learners.

The programme will focus on the new ALN bill and research on inclusivity. It will consider appropriate provision for secondary schools to consider when planning a curriculum that embodies the breadth and depth appropriate for its learners. A range of strategies will be considered based on experiences of what works in a particular context. Suitable for KS2 (transition), KS3, KS4 and Post 16 practitioners

Practitioners will reflect on their own practice and assess their next steps as they prepare a school curriculum that echoes ‘Successful Futures’.

Establishing an Enquiry-Based Culture to Raise Standards

The most valuable resource that all teaches have is each other, without collaboration our growth is limited to our own perspectives.

[Robert John Meehan]

This programme will explore how to develop an enquiry-based approach in a self-improving system. A key principle to developing highly effective pedagogical approaches in the classroom is to utilise structured engagement in reflective practice and collaborative enquiry including action research for practitioners. The programme will support schools to become learning organisations, with practitioners encouraged to engage in enquiry to investigate and extend their practice.

This programme will support the development of enquiry tools and approaches which systematically support practitioners to use data driven methodologies to improve outcomes for all learners. Practitioners will be challenged to reflect on current practice and trial alternative approaches to further improve outcomes. This will support the ambition of Successful Futures in making our pupils reflect and engage in enquiry in order that success is achievable for all.

Making progress: Assessment and Feedback in the 21st Century Classroom

Feedback is highlighted as being one of the most effective classroom strategies for impacting pupil progress [Sutton trust teacher toolkit]; Successful Futures also identifies assessment for learning (AfL) as a key pedagogical principle. However, teachers continue to rely on marking as their most used form of assessment rather than a tool to bridge the knowledge gap.

AfL strategies can also support practitioners reduce their workload by making pupils more responsible for their own learning. Using the mantra ‘meaningful, motivational and manageable’, practitioners will be introduced to ways that teachers can build pupils’ capacity to be ambitious and capable learners using visible learning strategies and effective feedback. Practitioners will reflect upon their current practice as well as considering an evidence base from relevant research and pupil voice to support them develop their pedagogy in a collaborative professional learning forum.

Progression in the Curriculum for Wales

“By its very nature, learning involves progression. To assist in its emergence, teachers need to understand the pathways along which students are expected to progress”. [Learning Progressions: Supporting Instruction and Formative Assessment]

This programme will explore the vision of ‘assessing what matters’, keeping assessment at the heart of learning as outlined in Successful Futures. The programme will investigate progression in learning, utilising the evidence base provided by the CAMAU team in support of curriculum reform. Practitioners will have the opportunity to engage in professional discussions on curriculum reform, exploring how assessment might be focused on what is needed. Successful Futures suggests that the achievement outcomes should be framed as broad expectations achievable over a period of time. They should be “reference points, providing a road map for each individual child and young person’s progress in their learning and not universal expectations of the performance of all children and young people at fixed points” Successful Futures.

Developing Resilience and Improving Attitudes

These sessions are intended to improve understanding of how learning and teaching approaches can develop two specific groups of learners, namely:

1. Boys who are able but lack the motivation for success.

2. More able girls who struggle with issues relating to wellbeing and resilience.

The issue of boys’ poor levels of motivation and attitude is one that remains. Y Pant is currently involved in a research project with Cardiff Met which will deepen our understanding and pedagogical approaches to this issue, building on academic levels of enquiry. The collaboration with Cardiff Met will also focus on able girls who struggle with high levels of anxiety and a worrying lack of resilience.

In these sessions we will be drawing upon current and new research, speaking to pupils, observing lessons and discussing our findings. The programme is aligned with CSC’s Readiness Tool and seeks to focus, more specifically on Pe8 and Pe11 elements, and more broadly our 2020 Vision. This will be an enquiry led programme, with intersessional tasks. The sessions will involve presentations, discussion and input from Y Pant staff as well as HEI collaboration.

Delivering Consistent High Quality Teaching to Impact Learning Experiences and Outcomes (Improving Teacher Programme)

As the Professional Standards for Teaching and Leadership identify, ‘teaching and learning is paramount. Practitioners consistently secure the best outcomes for learners through progressively refining teaching,

influencing learners and advancing learning’.

Having finished induction, qualified practitioners often spend many years in the classroom without access to a strategy that will help them refine and develop their practice. Drawing on evidence effective learning and teaching, the Improving Teacher Programme (ITP), will refresh and enrich pedagogical principles and approaches.

Practitioners will be expected to undertake inter-sessional challenges and be prepared to monitor the success of new strategies and share findings with each other in order to create a shared understanding of what impacts on pupil outcomes.
