Course Details
The introduction of the Education Inspection Framework (EIF) in 2019, revolutionised the education landscape and firmly placed a school’s curriculum under the spotlight.
Further, the EIF is underpinned by a broad body of research including from the disciplines of psychology and cognitive science. As educationalists we have been asked to reconsider concepts like ‘progress’ and ‘learning’ in light of this research. Two key questions facing school leaders with regard to the quality of education on offer are, ‘what research do we need to know?‘ and ‘how can we use it in our school?‘
Fed up with staff playing catch up? Do any of these statements sound familiar? ‘The previous teacher over inflated this class’ assessments!’ or ‘Did this class learn anything for the whole of last year?’ This one-day course will give school leaders the opportunity to understand what may be causing staff to feel frustrated over pupils not retaining the content that is being taught.
Delegates will be able to demystify research in these areas by translating it into practical strategies that can be implemented in school. They will explore how synergy can be achieved between the curriculum, pedagogy and learning to ensure that pupils remember the content that is being taught.
Participants will:
- gain a greater awareness of the key concepts that impact on curriculum design including progress, learning, automaticity, limitations of short-term memory, and cultural capital
- explore current research underpinning curriculum design, including cognitive science supporting the progression model etc and consider the 3 I’s in relation to this research
- explore research on meta-cognition and consider practical examples of what this looks like in the classroom
- explore learning & pedagogy practices including deep learning v shallow learning, and turning information into powerful knowledge
- benefit from reflection through reference to a sample of pupils’ work in any chosen subjects using the key questions (supplied) to consider what the provision and practice is like in your school
