It was so wonderful to see the superb scaffolds in place across a very engaging learning environment on a recent visit to F2 @SunnysideAcad . These both explicitly model and extend learning for all the children #intervention #prompt #VAK #support @GAT_Learning

Some really thought provoking reading and discussions today about adaptive teaching.

[GAT Education @GAT_Learning]

Now onto looking at behaviour change and how we can achieve the desired behaviours in schools and at a trust level. Super interesting discussions around culture and PD.

[GAT Education @GAT_Learning]

Great to be discussing all things adaptive teaching with colleagues from the @EducEndowFoundn this morning, with the aim of creating a shared language and understanding and that strategies for adaptive teaching are implemented by teachers and TAs across our academies.

[GAT Education @GAT_Learning]

Starting with reading some brilliant research and discussing our definition of adaptive teaching.

[Ben Pearce @LincsFADSO]

One week left on this. Current leader is leaving for a well deserved promoted post.

This is a great opportunity to lead a great team, who do great things for CoPA kids!

Happy for you to come and see for yourself any time, our doors are always open!
