Working to Accelerate Student Progress
Feedback from departments on literacy strategies being used.
Introducing the Onion
The onion has come out of a concern that teachers are working harder than the students at improving their literacy.
The aim with the Onion is to gain consistency; this will ensure the students understand what they need to do. Students will be expected to self/peer assess their work for literacy before handing it in. The students will assess their own work with a purple pen. Pens will be provided to departments. The aim is that this is less work for teaches and more work for students.
Know your Onions - developing feedback that has an impact on student progress
Exploring how we can integrate the Onion and Triple Impact Marking so they are seen to be aspects of the same development. Groups discussed how to make feedback effective and how to ensure that it has a positive impact on students’ progress.
Leading Good Behaviour
This was an update on how much behaviour has improved and how high standards of behaviour are an expectation at Cheney School. An overview was given about our expectations and how to be consistent at enforcing these. Also what we need to develop next through the staff, student and parental charters was shared.
