Planning with pupils
Description
Planning can involve pupils too! Here we see some innovative planning work with mixed ability pupils in both Maths and Science, where both the teachers and the learners benefit from the process.At Sweyne Park School, Deputy Head Sally Pemberton plans a lesson with some Year 9 Maths pupils on the topic of decimal places. Through planning the lesson and its activities with the pupils, Sally can see exactly how they learn and understand the topic and how this can then be delivered to the whole class. Then the pupils deliver the lesson to their peers. The whole process informs teachers about pupils learning but also gives pupils real ownership of their learning.This approach is then taken up in the Science department, where NQT Rebekah Collins discusses her lesson with her Year 10 pupils and hears their thoughts on the lesson structure and activities as well as its resources, before they go on to deliver parts of it to their peers.
