We are delighted to launch ‘Our Excellent Lesson‘. Last session, as our Leader of Learning, Mrs McCaig worked with a group of pupils across the school to focus on what makes a lesson excellent.
There was a lot of discussion and debate, and the views of all staff and pupils were sought during our Home Circles. The group listened to the opinions of all stakeholders and came up with five main statements that would make An Excellent Lesson.
- an inclusive environment that is calm and kind
- builds on what we already know
- has clear learning intentions and success criteria that we help to build
- supports and challenges us in ways that help us most
- gives feedback that helps us move forward in our learning
The new poster contains the CATRINE Values and states that ‘our classrooms are individual learning spaces created specifically for the learners at each stage. The five statements above are what you will see in every class to ensure consistently high standards of learning and teaching for all.’
Thanks to Mirren, Blair, Alfie, Braxton, Jamie, Myia and Mrs McCaig for creating such a wonderful ‘Excellent Lesson‘ outline.
