The early years in a child’s life have been acknowledged for some time by experts as vitally important to growth, learning and overall development, but it is now recognised that it also impacts mental health.
Indeed, Ofsted published some international research in June 2023 that suggests high-quality early years provision can provide extra benefits to those from low-income backgrounds.
In England, the Early Years Curriculum Framework cover children from birth to the end of their reception year at school.
Here, we will explore why the early years are important for a child’s development.
Schools are not just looking to recruit teachers. They also need to find new school leaders.
Stepping up to school leadership is rewarding but requires a complete change in perspective with an increased workload and far more responsibility.
In this guide, we will examine what school leadership means and what you need to consider before making the leap.
We are still beginning the journey of using AI in the classroom. Teachers and school leaders can struggle to keep up with AI tools like ChatGPT.
One thing for sure is that it isn’t going away, so it is worth exploring the benefits and ethics of using ChatGPT in schools.
Improving your school’s curriculum takes a great deal of time and research.
Carrying out an overhaul of your curriculums may seem daunting, but schools must review them regularly to ensure they deliver the support required for pupils and teachers. Indeed, successful schools have a rolling schedule to review their curriculums and put time and effort into ensuring the process is carried out correctly.
Plenty of tools are available to make the job easier, so we will look at two that might help, but first, let’s examine why you should improve your curriculum.
There is plenty of talk in teaching regarding mastery and ensuring pupils develop their understanding of new concepts, but it is essential not to forget the role that rote learning plays in education.
Repetition allows pupils to rehearse knowledge, retrieve facts and practice their understanding. It enables the brain to develop automaticity, which is vital for many aspects of mastery, e.g. times tables.
Lesson planning involves many aspects of teaching and learning. One of the vital components is ensuring that pupils have an opportunity to practice retrieval to help them consolidate new information.
You may well use more formal tests at the end of units, but there should also be opportunities for pupils to demonstrate and rehearse their learning more frequently.
In this guide, we will explore some ideas to help you use quizzes more effectively in the classroom.
Maybe you are one of the teachers who love curriculum planning, or perhaps you find it daunting.
Whatever your feelings, we can all agree that it can be a time-consuming and often confusing process.
The best way to make curriculum planning creative and fun is to reduce the impact on workload so you do not lose evenings and weekends to the task.
Here are some of our best ideas for making curriculum planning easier.
The summer term may bring teachers one step nearer to the summer break, but first, there is the onerous task of completing report writing.
Every school will have a different format for their reports, but whatever the system used, it is often a long-winded chore. Indeed, many teachers spend their evenings and weekends preparing detailed reports that accurately show each pupil’s progress over the year.
