PUPIL LEARNER EFFECTIVENESSTraining

Aims of the Training:

1. To learn how to use the outcomes of the survey to;– Plan a whole school strategy for improving pupils’

self-regulatory skills– Support teachers in improving individual pupil’s

self-regulatory skills– Support teachers in ensuring that feed-up, feed-

back and feed-forward is appropriate to what feedback level the pupil is operating at.

QUIZ!

What is the purpose of the teacher?

….

The purpose of the teacher…

…is to reduce the discrepancy between current understanding / performance,

and the desired goal.

Teacher obviously influences how successfully this is achieved…

• What two approaches does the teacher use to influence this?

Teacher obviously influences how successfully this is achieved…

But Hattie says that THE most influential factor, is the pupil…!

• And what are the pupil’s two approaches?

But Hattie says that THE most influential factor, is the pupil…!

The teacher and the pupil both influence how successfully this is achieved…

How do pupils make tasks easier for

themselves??

How do pupils know what

strategies to use, to be more effective?

How does a teacher get the

challenge right?

How does a teacher give

‘Effective Feedback’?

Hattie’s Model

• What are the four levels of feedback?

• What are the three feedback questions?

Pupils fit the Effective Learner Profile….

Learner Profiles

Enough revision…

On to the survey…

Learner Profile Assessment

If we could assess our children to find out what self-regulatory skills they have, and

which they have not…

Could we then teach them the skills they do not have... to move them from being

ineffective learners… to effective learners?

How do we do this?

Whole School Strategy

How do we do this?

• Using the results of the PLE survey, produce a report (See school report).

• Identify highest priorities for improvement. Take to SLT for agreement.

• Write a plan to address priorities.

TASK ONE(30 mins)

• Using School Report

– Identify highest priorities– Brainstorm possible strategies for addressing.– Write on Action Plan

– If successful, how would these affect school policy?

How do we do this?

Class Teacher Strategy

What must the class teacher do?

Step One;

Look at the responses for each question.

Understand the implications of each question’s responses….

What are the implications?Question 9:

After my teacher has explained what task I am to do…

A. I like to ask my teacher or another adult, to explain again.

B. I sometimes ask my teacher, or another adult, to explain a bit more.

C. I know what to do, and want to start work straight away.

If 3 children ticked A, 10 ticked B and 19 ticked C?

What are the implications?Question 12 :

When I am doing my work…

A. I work best when an adult is sitting with me.

B. I work best if an adult helps me from time to time.

C. I am able to work all on my own/independently.

If 12 children ticked A, 15 ticked B and 3 ticked C?

What are the implications?Question 14 :

When I am doing my work…

A. I don’t tend to spot my own mistakes.

B. I sometimes see that I’ve made a mistake.

C. I am good at spotting my own mistakes.

If 15 children ticked A, 10 ticked B and 5 ticked C?

What are the implications?Question 15 :

When I find out I’ve made a mistake…

A. I ask for help in correcting my mistake.

B. I sometimes ask for help in correcting my mistake.

C. I can work out how to correct my mistakes on my own.

If 5 children ticked A, 10 ticked B and 15 ticked C?

If you were the teacher of this class…

What would your whole class strategies be to address the implications of these results?

• How would you exploit the pupils’ self-regulatory skills?

• How would you increase the pupils’ self-regulatory skills?

TASK TWO

What must the class teacher do?

Step Two;

Discuss pupils’ responses with them individually to find out how to move them towards becoming self-regulatory.

Agree strategies for improving their skills.

Remember to follow these up!

TASK THREEUsing one of the sample responses

1. Look at the pupil’s response to each question.– Consider which issue the pupil may choose to improve.– Consider what strategy you might agree to put in place to support the

pupil.

2. Look at the pupil’s response to question 20 (if completed).– Consider what strategy you might agree to put in place to support

the pupil.

Individual Pupil Feedback Audit

A strategy that can be used to support teachers in ensuring feedback matches pupils’ self-regulatory skills.

Individual Pupil Feedback Audit

Step One

Identify one child (Freda F Wood).

Look at Freda’s PLE response.

Decide whether Freda will be most comfortable with task, process or self-regulatory level feedback.

Individual Pupil Feedback Audit

Step One

Freda is likely to comfortable working at TASK level.

The teacher needs to move Freda from TASK to PROCESS level feedback.

Individual Pupil Feedback AuditStep Two

What skill or skills would you want Freda to acquire, to enable her to move toward becoming a more effective learner?

In pairs, how would you support Freda in acquiring these skills?

What will the feed-up, feed-back and feed-forward look like (including marking)?

Individual Pupil Feedback Audit

Step One

Identify another child (Fred Back).

Look at Fred’s PLE response.

Decide whether Fred will be most comfortable with task, process or self-regulatory level feedback.

Individual Pupil Feedback Audit

Step One

Fred is likely to be comfortable working at PROCESS level.

The teacher needs to move Fred from PROCESS to SELF-REGULATORY level feedback.

Individual Pupil Feedback AuditStep Two

What skill or skills would you want Fred to acquire, to enable him to move toward becoming a more effective learner?

In pairs, how would you support Fred in acquiring these skills?

What will the feed-up, feed-back and feed-forward look like (including marking)?

Survey Monkey

• You now have a spreadsheet saved with your school results.

• You can now sort this to find out your school priorities, and your class priorities.

• It is also a handy summary of the individual pupils responses.

Survey Monkey

Time to explore with Excel!

30 minutes to explore

• Sort the data• Filter a class• Sort a question to find out the proportion of

children with different degrees of skills.• What do the children’s comments say?• What can you find out?• Work in pairs then swap…• Or work on your own…

Teacher Action Plan

• What would you do as a class teacher - to address patterns and trends in your class?- to address individual children’s needs?

Next steps…

• Go back to school • Take a staff meeting• Share the school priorities• Give out PLE reports to the teachers• Give them a spreadsheet with just their class• Give the teachers time to look at individual

responses, and also to look for patterns and trends.

Next steps…

• Ask the teachers to write their own action plans• See if they can spend a short time with each

child going over their responses to see if there is a quick fix.

• Support them, and facilitate support between staff.

• Let’s get those children being self-regulatory learners!!!
