GLT: Talking for Learning

HPL

Kirsten Parker has been teaching in Kent for over 25 years, delivering Design Technology up to A level and International Baccalaureate. She joined St Lawrence College in 2017 as Head of Design Technology, having led departments at Barton Court Grammar School and Dover Girls Grammar School from 2000 and 2012 respectively. In 2019 she became HPL Global Lead Teacher for DT and is currently Assistant Head Academic at St Lawrence College.

The forum will be for those leading HPL in their school, and will be populated by colleagues from around the world who are all in the same boat, just maybe at different stages in their journey. It should therefore be engaging and relevant, so a go-to place to get opinions and tips for developing best practice in your school. It will also be packed with HPL content and expertise on topics to support HPL leads working towards accreditation. It should also be a safe, supportive and kind place, so no judgements or worries about posting anything that might seem trivial or basic.

Talking for Learning

2 days ago

We have been looking at different techniques to promote learning through talking, considering not only the immediate cognitive impact but the potential for dynamic assessment and the development of oracy skills. As part of our drive to develop a PLC focused on research, we are evaluating a series of WALKTHRUs, and examining the impact that their use has on our practice and on our learners. What have you tried? What is working for you in your setting and how have you been able to measure the impact?
