Description
Summary:When Joanne Wilson arrived as learning consultant at Unity College in Burnley, she embraced the new KS3 curriculum to help re-invent a failing English department. The flexibility and creativity of the KS3 curriculum can help re-motivate English department staff and students at a school under an Ofsted Notice to Improve . Joanne delivers a training session for the English department advising on how to make best use of the new curriculum. Joanne then develops and team-teaches a Year 7 reading lesson with Kelly Smith, using a bus stop technique to get the children moving round the classroom. The pupils present their findings and engage in peer assessment, levelling each other's work according to the APP sub-strands. Then in a moderation session the English department assesses the class's work. And four months on we see the effect of the new curriculum on pupil progress and motivation in English.
