Staff Meeting Programme

Botheredness: Reinvigorating Pedagogy and Making Learning Matter

Led by Hywel Roberts

Overview

In this session Hywel will explore:

  • Developing practice with professional imagination
  • Being creative in a concrete system
  • Discerning pedagogical decisions
  • Storytelling and learning: the research into how narratives can support progress and attainment across a curriculum
  • Moving from engagement to investment in learning
  • Towards a curriculum of empathy, compassion, and joy – a curriculum that’s compassionate to the staff delivering it, as well as the children experiencing it!
  • So what? Now what?

Hywel will introduce thinking and research around pupil motivation and the ingredients that can support a bespoke curriculum that allows teachers professional freedoms whilst enabling them to sleep well at night. We will engage with some planning examples and grow an understanding of how stories, narratives, and contexts are now being promoted by the cognitive science as useful vehicles for pupil learning. Teachers will leave with tools for their toolkits and ideas that can be applied straight away in their classrooms. Ideas from the session will offer colleagues food for thought in developing their own work and the work of the team.

Experience inspiring termly webinars led by nationally renowned educational speakers. Gain insights and practical strategies to invigorate teaching practices. Available live or recorded for all school staff. Theme for 2024-25: “Re-Igniting the Spark: inspiring teachers’ passion and creativity.”

With guest speakers:

  • Hywel Roberts
  • Rob Smith (Literacy Shed)
  • Lee Parkinson (Mr P)
