Getting into classrooms, talking to students and supporting staff is the single most important aspect of my work at XP East, and one of the biggest litmus tests for looking at the quality of what’s going on is always the end of the week – Friday afternoons!
Yet again, this is what I have seen:
Students redrafting work, students responding to teacher feedback, students using rubrics to support their progress, exceptional levels of productivity, excellent student behaviour, staff working their socks off, students working their socks off, small targeted group work, Padlets being used to support student progress… Oh and did I mention students and staff working their socks off?
Remember, if the litmus test is Friday afternoon – this is working, and its working very well!
Hey, dear everyone else in the world – what does Friday afternoon look like where you work?
