SLC and the reading group
The SLC met with Mr Gray to discuss the impact of the reading articles we have been sharing with staff, especially on low stakes quizzing and its impact on their learning.
The students were very positive about their experience so far, with all the students saying there was an increase in the frequency of the quizzing they are doing in class. Specifically students mentioned the recall they are doing with An Inspector Calls in English, and in Science there was Look, Cover, Write, Check which was proving popular. In other lessons students mentioned multiple choice quizzes where they had a choice of answer numbering 1, 2, 3 and 4 and the use of Quizziz.
Thank you to all the students for giving up their time, it is great to see so much teaching and learning going on across the school.
