The aim of this blog is to create a platform on which to share great teaching practice and ideas which will improve our teaching. It will have a general teaching theme, but I will also be posting G&T and Differentiation specific content. Some things will be useful and applicable to your teaching and there is bound to be things on here that you do already - so use it as you see fit.
It is my intention to update this blog every week with great things that I have seen and read about. I will always make time for face-to-face discussion following a visit to your classroom and also any ideas and tips that you would like to discuss - I will strive to do so in person. However, time is a precious commodity in school, so here's a little bit of technology to help us out! This blog is also open to all of you to add and share resources and ideas so please sign up to blogspot and post away!
One other aim of mine is to transform the dreaded 'observation' into a positive learning experience for everyone involved. Absolutely no-one is a perfect teacher, so the person observing you can learn just as much from you as you can from them. Imagine it like an exchange of ideas rather than a performance after which you will be analysed and 'picked apart'. I have learnt so much from observing others in the school.
I hope you find this helpful! My door is also always open if you want to discuss anything you see on here.
Allan
