In last Thursday's staff training we focussed on how to have conversations on sensitive topics. Staff felt really positive coming away with some more knowledge on how to tackle difficult conversations in the classroom.

In response to this I created the following framework in collaboration with our Excellent Teaching Team to support staff with difficult conversations. Staff have already starting using in the classroom (an ECT told me how successful it was in the classroom just the next day!).

Heavily inspired by @AVisserFuray I have created a summary sheet of things to consider when reading with a class which will be sit alongside our CPD sessions on reading... I'd really appreciate any feedback/ suggestions for how to improve it.

Really excited to be leading a whole school session on questioning, based on the idea of 'generative' questions that I saw in a brilliant @michaeldoron presentation. Here I have tried to come up a summary of some of the different type of generative questions we could ask.

On our INSET day @historysuperfan and @AVIEnglish1 led our first session on disciplinary reading. Staff were given input on different forms of text (particularly distinguishing between narrative and non-fiction) and further reading and then discussed the following areas:

It's that time of year again - two new displays for the corridor just in time for open evening!!! A world map highlighting some of the places, events and people that we cover in the curriculum and another one with some examples of the historical claims pupils get to encounter!

We’re about to embark on a training process in school designed to build a shared language of curric. This is *not* a homogenised curric policy that removes subject distinctiveness, but an attempt to build an understanding of curric theory and design at all levels (1)

An introduction to the idea of using 'takeaways' - understandings we want students to remember - in KS3 planning: thinkinghistory.co.uk/Issues/Takeawa… Given I've been talking and writing randomly about this since c2005 it seemed about time I attempted a summary.

Really good Faculty meeting where we used @JamesVWoodcock blog on effective feedback for mocks. Very useful and well worth a read. I’m sure James will repost if people want it. Cheers James.
