@GaleMorrisonEd @tombennett71 Hi Gale, we came up with key expectations for our classrooms based on staff feedback in our context and made them into posters. We’d be happy to share but the process was as important as the end product.

Based on the training that @tombennett71 provided our staff, our teachers worked collaboratively at the start of the year to clarify the behaviours they wanted to see in the school and to plan how to teach these…It’s been the best start to an academic year so far!

Wishing all our followers and Hurtwood House families around the world a very happy and peaceful Mid-Autumn Festival! @HurtwoodHouse #MidAutumn

@tombennett71 Thank you, Tom!

[Hurtwood House Qingdao Bilingual School @HdQingdao]

We were fortunate as a school to receive some recent staff training from @tombennett71
“We no longer assume that the children know the behaviour we want to see. With partner talk, we taught them exactly what this is and now we are seeing the benefits in class.”
Thank you, Tom!

Well done to our fabulous Grade 3 students who put on a lovely Christmas Production last week. There was a special message included about the importance of family and friendship at this time of the year. #Hurtwoodhouse #christmas

Don’t blame it on the boogie, blame it on our Primary Student Council! They did a wonderful job last week of organising our charity “Superhero” themed disco. #bilingualeducation #HurtwoodHouse #ESL #EAL #blameitontheboogie

Our staff recently used @nmmarking to assess our Grade 2 students’ creative writing. We found out that 17 of our students are already writing at, or above, the expected writing standards for native English speakers in the UK. Lots of work still to do but very encouraging results!

At HD Qingdao we use evidence to inform our professional development. Our teachers & T/As meet once a month to support each other develop their use of classroom Formative Assessment using materials created by Siobhan Leahy and @dylanwiliam #Bilingualeducation #formativeassessment

Our Grade 2 students have been learning about traditional Asian settlements. The students spent all last week in the Design Lab making their own 3D models – we’re very proud of their work!

Two years ago all of our students were at the earliest stages of learning English. Today, we were delighted to see our Year 3s join students from across the UK take part in a creative writing task using @nmmarking ! #EAL #ESL #HDQingdao #bilingualeducation

"When the curriculum’s too full, you have to make a professional decision about what stuff you’re going to leave out, and the important point here is that not all content is equally important," says @dylanwiliam https://t.co/mDe3Tdp16F
