  2. Introductions • Who are you?

  3. Nature of our enquiry • How can planning learning experiences using an accelerated learning cycle lead to more engaged learners? • How can planning learning experiences using an accelerated learning cycle change the learners’ understanding of the role of the teacher in learning? • How can planning learning experiences using an accelerated learning cycle change the learners’ understanding of the role of themselves in learning? • How can planning learning experiences using an accelerated learning cycle lead to learners becoming more engaged in their learning?

  7. Evidence? • Pupil Drawings • Observations • Interviews • Teacher Reflections

  8. Outcomes for learners • Engagement & Perceptions • Before & After • Summary of analysis

  9. Outcomes for learners • Engagement • More active & relevant activities? • Greater control & responsibility? • Demonstrate learning leading to positive feedback loops? • Perceptions • Importance of ‘review & reflect’. • The role of ‘mindsets’.

  10. Outcomes for staff • Increased confidence in planning • Evidence allowed us to see a change in the students • Support from others in other departments • No longer dread the class involved! • Validating school development. • Analysis over-reliant on MEd and not-collaborative.

  12. Sharing outcomes • What are the outcomes from your group’s discussion • What are the common themes?
