STCM Teach Meet 3Tuesday 19th January 2016STCM Recipe for Learning:

Shape and Structure+Adaptability

= Differentiation

Our recipe1. INFORMATION – good or better teaching starts by using quantitative and qualitative data

to identify where learners need to head next2. LEARNING FOCUS– good or better teaching is organised around achieving excellent

outcomes incrementally and over the long term based on clear understanding of Learning Objectives

3. BIG PICTURE – great teaching ensures learners see where new learning fits into where they currently are

4. LESSON SHAPE AND STRUCTURE – good or better teaching is coherent in its sequence and builds knowledge, understanding and skills incrementally

5. ASSESSMENT OPPORTUNITIES – good or better teaching has progress checking as part and parcel of its structure

6. ADAPTABILITY – good or better teaching is flexible and ensures that pace and content is responsive to the needs of individuals, groups and the whole class, teaching differentiates to support and stretch

Shape and Structure1. What does a ‘typical’ lesson look like in your department, in terms of Shape and Structure? Discuss within your teams.

There are some questions to consider on your tables.

10 minutes.

Shape and Structure2. Shape and Structure planning task

Take a lesson that you are intending on delivering over the next week or so:

• Plan it as a ‘perfect’ lesson to showcase effective Shape and Structure throughout the lesson using the RfL template.

• Ensure that each learning episode features an Assessment Opportunity for you to be able to gauge the level of student understanding and progress throughout the lesson.

• Have at least half of your lesson as student-led episodes - consider the best way to do this.

This can be a departmental task, a paired task for teachers delivering similar content, or an individual task.

25 minutes.
