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.

In today’s world of social media and technical communications with have unprecedented opportunities like never before, to contact, communicate with and inform our various stakeholders. Lockdowns have developed in us a new skill set of electronic teaching and communications. Everywhere we see Podcasts from all sectors. The question this week is how is our HPL community using this technology? Are you making Podcasts for parents? Are you posting video content online to support home learning? How is it best used? Share with us your experiences in our subject communities and possibly gets some great ideas shared by others.
