New HOD’s Network 30th January 2008 Intervention
Intervention The National Picture: • Contextual Value Added is the key • Two levels progress is the target • SIPs will provide a target for two level conversion • Ofsted/LA’s will use two level progress as benchmark • The end of SATs for Single Level Tests • The role of APP
Intervention Key Questions: • Do you know the levels of your pupils? • How do you ascertain curricular needs/ targets? • What do you do about addressing those needs? • Do you have “routine” actions that click into gear when you establish needs?
Intervention Baseline Data “Levels give us a very general idea of a student’s abilities; it is crucial that we establish curricular needs and set targets from the beginning of Year 7. These should be reviewed routinely to assess progress and set new targets.”
Intervention Task 1: Discuss with a partner, the current practice in your department for accumulating baseline data about students • Do you set curricular targets? • How do you set about addressing the needs of the students? • Do you have an assessment calendar? • Are you happy with the current arrangements?
Intervention starts with the pupils Identify pupils Assess learning needs Assess progress against targets Set curricular targets Tailored teaching in main lessons Additional or alternative provision
Intervention Working towards routine intervention ………. • Special Needs Can’t Read? Pause, Prompt, Praise Can’t Write? Literacy MOT Quality First Teaching Progress Units TA Are these or similar practices routine?
Intervention 2. Catch up students: Capable but underachieving Establish need: Set targets using Progression Maps Quality First Teaching Guided Reading/Writing TA Peer Assessment Progress Units Study Plus in GCSE years
Intervention 3. Able, gifted and talented Have you got a register? Less didactic teaching Different resources Different tasks Peer assessment/AFL Do you feel there is enough rigour and challenge?
Intervention Task 2 What should a good intervention policy contain?
Intervention Task 3 • Look at the Intervention Plan you have been given. • What are its strengths? • How could it be improved? • How could it be monitored?
Intervention Task 4 With a partner, discuss ways in which you might develop your own intervention plan. - Keep a record of your thoughts - Be prepared to share your ideas with the group
