Always, Sometimes or
Never True?
If you add three
consecutive integers,
the answer is a
multiple of 3.
Objectives
● Discuss and share actions taken to implement
the research project following the November
workshop
● Evaluate and discuss the initial impact of
implementing the Pre-Teaching and Assigning
Competence research project
● Prepare an outline plan for the Gap Tasks
● Examine how Case Studies and reflective
journals can be used to summarise projects
● Review project plans and consider further
actions
OutcomesWhat are the specific intended outcomes of this Work Group?
Professional learning
Teachers will:
Deepen their understanding of Intervention in Teaching for Mastery context
Engage in research and case studies which exemplify possible intervention
models in order to decide on a model to trial.
Teaching and/or leadership practice
Teachers will:
Trial a model of Intervention and consider the impact of it on the child and their
learning
Be able to plan and deliver intervention to promote a ‘keep up’ approach
Whole school/ departmental policies and approaches
Schools will review the impact of their current practice and be open and flexible to making organisational and attitudinal changes to existing models. By participating in this project, they may change policy and practice to intervention in their schools.
Pupil achievement, attitudes, participation or experience
Pupil achievement, attitudes, participation or experience
