Deeper Learning

Presentation shared with Wellsprings GB and visiting teachers from TLP Cohort schools

Deeper Learning needs to be:

• enjoyable
• context-based
• assessed thoroughly to identify gaps
• accessible to all levels of ability

Whole school- activity days

A range of learner styles catered for

Wow days and cross-curricular links

Make what it takes to be successful clear to the children

Links to the community

Applied learning- different

• pportunities

Applied learning- family learning

Rich, broad curriculum

The teacher often will:

• work with a focus group to set off a group on an

activity

• assess the activity mid-session to decide if there are
• pportunities to ‘deepen’ or stretch learning
• differentiate through the use of different interpretations
• f an objective or task
• ‘block’ learning to ensure a unit is covered sufficiently

12

We use our TAs to:

• pre-learn with children
• consolidate learning through extension tasks
• direct classroom management while the teacher

works with a focus group

• assesses learning to support judgements made by

the teacher mid-session and post-session

13

Children:

• have a ‘menu’ option of bronze, silver and gold (and sometimes

platinum!) to choose from in activities; they are often ‘guided’ to make suitable choices

• complete gold/silver tasks, which are often more ‘applied’

activities to deepen learning

• are given links between subjects to provide broader ‘contexts’

to learning- eg GPS/Phonics, maths, science skills applied to non- ‘core’ subjects

• Have more time to complete tasks- built into and beyond the

session
