OUTSTANDING TEACHERS The Wizard of Oz model
The scarecrow • Careful planning where the SoW, medium term plan and lesson plan are carefully inter-linked • Subject knowledge must be solid. Able to ‘go further’, answer questions and aware of the underlying issues • Assessment data is used to inform planning and develop differentiated materials • A range of pedagogic strategies are used If I only had a brain
The Tin Man • Passion about your subject - this is infectious • Believe your subject is important • Care about all the students achieving and learning • Care about all the students as individuals • A “firm but fair” approach to classroom discipline • Develop a climate of trust and respect in teacher-student and student-student relationships If I only had a heart
The Cowardly Lion • Willingness to take risks in your teaching • Don’t shy away from controversial subjects • Let your students get involved in the planning, teaching and assessment of lessons • Use a range of pedagogic approaches • Be willing to challenge directives and the status quo • Stand up for your beliefs If I only had the nerve
Dorothy • Work life balance - get this right • Bring your personal stories and experiences into the classroom • Have a support network outside of your school (professional and personal) • Leave school problems and issues at the school gate There’s no place like home
The Wizard • Do something novel or special; create memorable experiences • Involve the experiences of the pupils • Bring into the classroom unusual or special things [or people!] (and encourage the students to do so) • Get out of the classroom A little piece of magic
