This is an afternoon session designed with ITT and PGCE students in mind to support them if they are asked to write or contribute to a scheme of learning.
It covers ideas on how to gather information in your new school and what to do with it!
This powerpoint forms the basis of an interactive session I run every year for parents of year 11 students. We usually run one in October and another in February.
The aim of this session is slightly different to a conventional lecture to parents which might focus abstractly on different techniques and on the websites that deliver content. These are easy to find by parents in a simple web search anyway.
What I aim to do when leading this session is make parents revise.
I try to show them what works, what is boring and doesn't work, what they are tempted to do instead of revise and most importantly when to spot these things happening with their child.
The resources themselves are mainly a prompt to promote discussion and debate and to help parents to leave enlightened rather than full of a list of strategies and websites.
It is also a really fun session to deliver. I tease parents by doing the "teacher thing" I tell them not to talk over me, I make them work in silence during parts of the session, and I ask them AfL questions using lolly sticks! Seeing the looks on the parents' faces is worth running the session for alone ;-)
On a very serious note though, parents who have been through this training become very effective home study partners and the impact on work produced at home is measurable and rapid especially when supporting pupil premium parents who perhaps didn't receive this sort of support themselves.
