Description:
As an advanced practitioner, Lisa has been reviewing, refining and researching in the classroom for many years. In this webinar, Lisa will reflect on her learning in practice, pedagogy and assessment. She will share with you the evolution of her thinking in these areas to help you to apply it to your own. No matter how brilliant your practice, teaching is a profession that is ever evolving and, with reflection, we can always make it even better.
Join us on Monday with Lisa! Bring along any questions—whether it’s something you’re proud of that’s worked well with your students, a challenge you’re facing, or advice on approaching a conversation with a parent. Plus, it’s a great chance to meet fellow teachers from other schools in this brief but valuable CPD session.
Session Outcomes:
- Reflections on classroom management will help you reflect upon your own choices as a practitioner.
- Reflections on pedagogy will help you to reflect upon your own teaching methods.
- Reflections on assessment will help you reflect upon your choices when assessing pupil progress.
- All of the reflections will give you something to take away and try out in your own classroom.
Audience:
New Teachers/ Teachers who want to improve their current practice/ ECT mentors.
About Lisa Jane Ashes:
Lisa believes that education is about developing minds for the future. She also believes that many schools fall short of producing a fully rounded end product’ because they fail to coordinate learning across their departments.
She has therefore made it her mission to transform how teachers think about the curriculum so that they can begin to deliver a whole school approach to education. To achieve this, she helps teachers develop personally and professionally by empowering them to collaborate with others within and outside their particular department. In Lisa’s most recent book, ‘Teacher in the Cupboard,’ she helps teachers examine their approaches to the many problems educators face. Tried and tested solutions to myriad issues are examined from all perspectives.
This book provides a mindset to facing problems and is a human approach that can be adopted to solve them. Lisa’s first book ‘Manglish’, considers how English and Maths can be creatively brought together to improve literacy and numeracy throughout the school, providing practical ideas and strategies.
Lisa is passionate about writing and appears in many teaching and learning publications such as: ‘There Is Another Way and ‘Don’t Change the light bulbs — A Compendium of Expertise from the UK’s most switched-on Educators’. She has also written many articles to help reflect on her work in education and share her evolving ideas as she goes. Lisa takes her message of curriculum collaboration around the world. Through her work with the charity ‘Reach Out to Schools,’ Lisa has developed teams in Ghana and Nepal where she uses her strategies to help create a culture of continual self-improvement among the country’s teachers.
John is passionately committed to improving the learning and life chances of children and young people through the professional development of individuals and organisations.
