Summary
Many thanks to those of you who have responded to our request for information about ITAP subjects areas. A summary of results is below, anonymised. This will be updated as and when required.
Issues to be covered in ITAP and feedback from DfE Associates
Institution 1
· Routines and proactive behaviour management,
· SSP as part of Early Reading
· Inclusion & scaffolding
· Questioning & feedback
Institution 2
· How Pupils Learn
· Managing Behaviour for Pupil Learning
· Promoting progression through Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment
· Assessing Learning
· Embedding and Enhancing Knowledge
Institution 3
Establishing a positive classroom climate | Explicit teacher models | Questioning to establish and respond to what pupils know
| Ensuring pupils have meaningful learning opportunities over time |
Institution 4
- Classroom presence and communication skills to support high expectations for all
· Behaviour management and addressing challenging situations to ensure all pupils are able to learn
· Subject knowledge for teaching to ensure all pupils can make progress
This has been talked through with our associate and they are happy with it. We also rehearsed with them that there would be no practising in high stakes environments within our ITPs, this would happen in carefully structured follow-up activities within the student's placement school. Again this raised no concerns.
