Notes around what a quality facilitator does: 

Meticulous planning using the context of the audience. Delved deeper into the audience using ACT (myself) to gain an insight into what the audience might be looking for. 

Gauged prior learning and next steps early in order to ascertain what be useful knowledge from within slideshow. He adapted accordingly.

Lots of time given for sense-making around slides and videos. 

Good balance of slides, videos, and discussion, conclusions. 

Excellent interaction with groups - the movement and listening in. 

Knowledge and experience - Excellent subject knowledge and the surrounding political context and experience as a teacher.

Three key questions for students, teachers, leaders.

Where are we going?

How am I doing?

Where to next?

Learner profile - First cab off the rank - It is critical. We need to know what our children should and could look like when they leave us. Alongside this the teacher profile is just as important.

"Know it doing it, teaching it - then I have learnt it. "

Strategy conversations among students around what works for them at this level are effective.

Graduate profile - Needs to be simple to understand and children need to be able to remember it across the school.

Students giving feedback to each other - We need to build those skills in those children.

Success Criteria is critical to know where they are going.

Students need clarity around what 'success looks like'.

Term 4: What are the conversations you've had as a result? What have you agreed to do in your classrooms, teams, and schools?
