This example shows evidence of a next step in practice in order to achieve improved student outcomes. This example shows how student outcomes will be improved by creating clear links between what the girls can do and their next steps through real time reporting.

Last year I started investigating the power of visibly random groupings in the classroom. I was introduced to an article by Peter Liljedahl (http://www.peterliljedahl.com/wp-content/uploads/Visibly-Random-Groups.pdf) looking at visibly random groupings in maths. I began using these groups in maths with mixed success. This year I have decided to use visibly random groupings with a pastoral care focus.

We have been struggling with teaching writing in our collaborative team as I am concerned that teaching in a big group when modelling means some children's needs aren't being met. We have also found it hard to balance the planning and teaching as a team. When walking through other classes we saw lots of whole class teaching and modelling with one class working in groups. Writing groups is something I have tried before and haven't made work for me but I really enjoyed watching the teacher with her small group. This group were listening to each others' writing and then discussing improvements that could be made. I would like to introduce this to my writing programme as I feel this is a very authentic way for children to get feedback from their peers. I have used written 2 stars and a wish feedback with...
