GLT: Short Course

HPL

I have been a Head of English for more than a decade at both maintained and independent schools. Leading the rollout of HPL at my current school, Ellesmere College, Shropshire, has been an interesting and rewarding challenge as it has given us a coherent pedagogical framework that explains much of what we knew, instinctively, works well in the classroom. It has also given us license to work with the students in a creative manner which, for many (if not all) of us was why we went into teaching in the first place.

As well as leading on HPL, I am also in charge of the Navy Section of the CCF and head of one of the College’s four academic and sporting competitive houses.

Short Course

On Thursday, June 8th, the English team where I work, Ellesmere College in Shropshire is delivering an HPL Short Course focussing on how we are looking to develop agility and confidence through creativity. We’ve tried lots of things, many of which haven’t gone too well, had a lot of fun and found a few things that seem to work.

A lot of the session will be led by some of our students as, so often, they know more than us about what works. There will be time to discuss what we’re doing to help students reflect on their assessments, share ideas about curriculum design and, perhaps most importantly, have a chat.

Hopefully we'll see you there. Here's the link: Getting Creative with English eventbrite.com
