Delving deeper into cognitive development
Bronfenbrenner amongst other significant thinkers are highly influential to the construction of a curriculum, particularly a cognitively mapped enquiry-led one.
We will go deeper into Bronfenbrenner's theories of influence and how enquiries should maximise these influences.
Enquiries as progressive pedagogy
Understanding differences between confirmation, structured, guided and open enquiry is the key to ensuring that pedagogical principles are progressive as well as content.
We will practically develop different version of the same whole school enquiry.
The enquiry-led process: black and yellow hats
Using the enquiry-led pedagogy, this seminar will explore the process of learning within and enquiry-led curriculum using DeBono's Thinking Hats.
We will explore the facts, intuition, hesitations, opportunities, options and 'what next?' available to leaders.
Evidencing the wider curriculum
Books looks, planning looks, floor books, learning environments, portfolios, displays, pupil voice, questionnaires... the list is endless, but which approach will yield what result?
We will explore the facts, intuition, hesitations, opportunities, options and planning available to leaders.
Leading the leaders
Empowering Subject Leaders without either stepping on their toes or wanting to just 'do it for them as it will be quicker' is a temptation that all leaders face.
In this seminar, we will look at the different ways of empowering and supporting Subject Leaders, from shadowing and 'doing it with them' through to en mass learning walks and book looks.
How [not] to do a Learning Walk
Learning walks can yield rich and fascinating evidence, but for many they are observation by stealth.
We will explore how to frame a learning walk in the most positive of terms, what you could do (and shouldn't) and how to share the outcomes to make a difference.
Differences between process and product.
Truly understanding the difference between a challenge and a celebration, 'know more and remember more', and, sequence and progression are key tenets for any Curriculum Leader.
We will look at how knowing these differences can help towards the end of year, especially when curriculum reviews and planning for the next academic year are very much at the forefront of minds.
Representation, climate change or Global Goals?
Choosing the flavour of your curriculum takes time and research. It is a decision that needs to be made and one that should not be taken lightly.
We will explore the differences that different 'flavours' of curriculum can take and what will need to be done to ensure it avoids tokenism and adultification.
