Supporting School Improvement

GOSPEL OAK -Extended Schools
Last term Granada Anglia made a programme about extended schools, in other words clubs and other extra-curricular activities. They asked to make the programme at Gospel Oak because they were unable to find another school in the country with so many clubs. The programme will be shown on Teachers' TV later in the autumn but you don't have to wait until then as you can watch it here on the school web site. Many of the children and staff, and also some parents are featured in the programme.

All 5 downloads are approximately 10 Mb.

Borders Literacy *New Summer 08
Scottish Borders have a Literacy website. It is another in the family of sites of which 'Border Maths' is one currently used by a number of Scottish LA's.

Literacy activities categorised according to CfE levels.
Border Maths site
Science website categorised to Scottish Borders Council 5-14 Science folders, but a very useful timesaving source of learning objective linked activities.

ICT enabling the dialogue for learning in your Classroom and at home...

Actually anywhere and anytime...

Nursery to Year 6

If your school has not adopted the LMLE then arguably you can't effectively scaffold homework and support online learning for consolidation beyond the school day...

Many of your colleagues are doing this now...

They are associating current layered targets for maths with specific learning opportunities on the Internet supported by forums in their class portal where pupils can raise issues and discuss their learning. They are scaffolding guided reading groups with forums in which children discuss their reading. Teachers use this in class to inform classroom discussion.

You don't need fancy research to tell you the likely impact that this can have on progress...

YOUR Class is missing out!!!
