CPD Update Issue 10 11 March 2016 CPD Update Issue 10 11 March 2016 Chairperson's Report, CPD Executive! Early Years JAWS - Getting Play ! Middle and Senior Leaders are at the heart of school improvement, critical Right! pg. 2 to a school’s success and the progress of the students. They provide the energy and motivation to ensure that a school continues to develop whether it is a well-established school or one in its infancy. The CPD Singapore Branch of the Executive has spent a number of years exploring possible ways in which FOBISIA can provide a vehicle for sustained leadership training for its Association of Teachers of members. Since the CPD Conference in September the CPD Executive Mathematics pg. 4 has established closer links with colleagues from the Institute of Education, University College London, with the view to introducing a range of leadership qualifications in September 2016. For the first year the courses will be delivered in Bangkok and in future years they will be English as an Additional rotated across the regions. The courses will include a series of national Language JAWS pg. 5 leadership qualifications; the National Professional Qualification for Head teachers (NPQH), the National Professional Qualification for Middle Leaders (NPQML) and the National Professional Qualification for Middle Secondary Student Wellbeing Leaders (NPQSL). In addition to these three courses there will also be the opportunity for experienced leaders to join a course to become facilitators Conference & JAWS pg. 6 of the NPQML and NPQSL which we hope will build up capacity within the federation. More information about these opportunities will be sent out to schools over the next few months. ! ! Read, Review, Respond pg. 8 The CPD Update has developed from a short two page document to the more detailed publication you can read today. Following feedback and recommendations from the CPD meeting in September we would like to Developing an Effective improve it further to include a greater variety of articles as well as continuing to feature feedback from the JAWs events, which continue to Computing Curriculum provide an excellent platform for CPD. To date this year, there have been Conference pg. 11 a total of 19 high quality workshops across the three regions. At JAWs events and conferences I often hear colleagues describing the innovations and developments taking place in their schools. We expect that future editions of the CPD update will provide a forum for teachers to share Digital Learning JAWS pg. 12 some of these exciting initiatives.! ! Over the next few months, plans for the academic year 2016 – 2017 year will take place through the regional meetings in May and the executive Primary Literacy JAWS pg. 13 meeting in June. We will be trialling the use of virtual meetings rather than the face to face meetings that usually take place.! ! Languages for Life JAWS pg. 15 Finally, I would like to thank Daphne Wong for the excellent work she has carried out in recent months to ensure that all school profiles are up-to- date and on a central system. The profiles will provide a great resource for Secondary Science JAWS pg.16 all CPD Leaders when they are planning events, identifying and sourcing expertise across the federation, sharing CPD opportunities between schools and seeking guidance. The plan moving forward is that the Secondary Pastoral p. 17 profiles will be updated each year following the annual CPD Conference in !March ensuring the data is current.! Gifted and Talented JAWS p. 18 Jackie Houghton, AP Professional Learning, Bangkok Patana School! CPD Update Issue 10 11 March 2016 !1 Early Years JAWS - Getting Play Right!! Alice Smith School, Malaysia! ! The Alice Smith School was thrilled to host this year’s FOBISIA Early Years JAWS (Jobs-Alike Workshop).! ! The event was scheduled to follow on from 2 days of inspirational training from the incredibly passionate and exciting Early Years Advisor, Alice Sharp; MD of Experiential Play and regular !presenter and writer for Nursery World. ! Over 50 Early Years teachers and leaders attended the event from schools across Asia. All with a shared passion for developing child interest/enquiry based learning for our younger learners. The !event was titled "Learning Through Play!"! There are many studies that explore both the advantages of a play based approach to education and !the disadvantages of a “too much too soon” formal and prescribed approach to teaching.! Across the board, all delegates, Alice Smith teachers and parents alike couldn’t help but be moved and inspired by Alice Sharp’s workshops on ‘Stages of child development’, ‘Provocations for learning’ !and ‘How to develop children’s higher order thinking’. ! The buzz of practitioners reflecting on their own practices and the jotting of next steps or new ideas was non-stop, even during the coffee breaks, where teachers couldn’t help but continue sharing what they were planning to implement within their own classes on their return home. I personally found the involvement in a day of training with Alice Sharp a refreshing and invigorating experience. It enabled me to readjust my focus onto my core purpose as a teacher, and how following a child’s own line of !enquiry can achieve much deeper learning. ! CPD Update Issue 10 11 March 2016 !2 On the first day, Alice worked with our teachers here at Alice Smith. She reminded us that it is our job as teachers to facilitate learning, to provide stimulating and interesting environments that evoke curiosity, promote investigation and enable discoveries to be made. When children are following their own lines of enquiry, posing their own questions, forming their own opinions and discovering their own answers, this is the learning that sticks. These are the experiences and discoveries that children remember, therefore they are the ideal opportunity to take their learning deeper and stretch their thinking to a higher level. Alice Sharp demonstrated this perfectly! She reminded us that through the simple use of thought stimulating objects, providing our learners with real experiences and making a rich and varied range of artefacts available, we can help develop children’s vocabulary, questioning skills, ability to make connections, communication skills !and most importantly their creative thinking. ! In another facet of the training, we were delighted to see such a high attendance at the Thursday parent workshop. We run these workshops weekly on different themes for our parents. This week, Alice challenged the perceptions on homework… She compared the impacts on learning of completing different homework activities; a teacher produced worksheet compared to a rich playful conversation, where thought provoking questions and adventurous vocabulary are both demonstrated and developed. She also extolled the virtues and impact appropriate home learning has on strengthening the bond between parent and child… parents reflected that this outcome was !quite the opposite to what occurs when forcing reluctant children to complete uninspiring worksheets.! The Friday and Saturday JAWS were a great success. Building on from the Alice Sharp INSET, teachers from across Asia lead and presented professional debates and discussions on a wide variety of topics; fostering positive relationships between home and school, taking play in Key Stage One, enhancing the inclusion for EAL students, child led learning, different types of play, keeping up with best practices and many many more. The success of each workshop relied on a volunteer to facilitate and lead. This was a fantastic opportunity to learn from others and share best practices. The discussions were always very positive and learning focused. It is a very empowering experience to sit amongst peers who understand what you are talking about or experiencing, and can nearly !always offer a possible solution or new approach to a problem.! It was a great opportunity to showcase how far our team, and the provision in our Early Years, have developed. Now with even more ideas and suggested practices to implement, we will continue advancing further as we endeavour in our quest to provide the very best start for our learners. To craft a meaningful education through enriching experiences both in school and looking ahead, !supporting them to become lifelong independent learners. ! Thank you to everyone who attended and for the overwhelming positive feedback we received for all !the aspects of the event. ! ! ! ! Benjamin Adair Clay, Extended Primary Leadership Team! The Alice Smith School, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia" CPD Update Issue 10 11 March 2016 !3 Singapore Branch of the Association of Teachers of Mathematics! Whenever colleagues get together to discuss teaching ideas and things that have worked well in their settings, everyone comes away with something valuable. This was the incentive for Tanglin Trust School to set up the Singapore branch of the Association of Teachers of Mathematics (ATM). ATM networks offer the opportunity for anyone involved in the teaching of mathematics to create and nurture social and professional connections in an environment that encourages individuals to learn with others.! ! Since setting up the Singapore ATM branch in May 2015, we have met once a term and have already learnt so much from each other. We have shared new ideas and reflected on past experiences, hosted guest speakers and developed links between schools across the island. It has been wonderful to see ideas shared at the meetings, put into practice in our own school and the positive impact this has had on learning. It has also been good to meet colleagues from a range of age groups from Early Years right through to Sixth Form.! ! The future of the branch is exciting! Meetings will now be held at different schools in Singapore, giving professionals opportunities to visit other settings and gain valuable ideas. Resources, such as Numicon, have been shared and schools are now working collaboratively with each other to develop ideas on how these can be used.! ! Anyone can become a member of the ATM online and there is a wealth of resources available to download alongside articles and ideas for developing mathematics education in schools.
