  1. Pedagogic Principles & Concepts in Teacher Education: exploring TLRP applications Andrew Pollard (TLRP) and Patti Barber (Primary PGCE) Institute of Education, University of London

  2. A professional opportunity? • TLRP’s outputs • Making sense through pedagogic principles • Case study: PGCE M level module • Making sense through conceptual tools • Case study: a Commentary on Pedagogy & Professionalism

  3. ‘Mastery of the fundamental ideas of a field involves ... discovery of previously unrecognized relations and similarities between ideas. The cultivation of a sense of interconnectedness is surely the heart of the matter.’ Jerome Bruner, 1966

  4. A professional opportunity? • TLRP’s outputs • Making sense through pedagogic principles • Case study: PGCE M level module • Making sense through conceptual tools • Case study: a Commentary on Pedagogy & Professionalism

  5. Three broad conclusions emerge from research on student learning: that most variation is attributable to differences in student abilities and attitudes, and family and community background. that “teacher quality” is the single most important school variable influencing student achievement. that vital teacher characteristics include: the ability to convey ideas in clear and convincing ways; to create effective learning environments for different types of students; to foster productive teacher-student relationships; to be enthusiastic and creative; and to work effectively with colleagues and parents. (OECD, 2005)

  6. (McKinsey & Company, 2007) The quality of an education system cannot exceed the quality of its teachers. The only way to improve outcomes is to improve instruction. High performance requires every child to succeed.

  7. A professional opportunity? • TLRP’s outputs • Making sense through pedagogic principles • Case study: PGCE M level module • Making sense through conceptual tools • Case study: a Commentary on Pedagogy & Professionalism

  27. A professional opportunity? • TLRP’s outputs • Making sense through pedagogic principles • Case study: PGCE M level module • Making sense through conceptual tools • Case study: a Commentary on Pedagogy & Professionalism

  28. ‘Mastery of the fundamental ideas of a field involves ... discovery of previously unrecognized relations and similarities between ideas. The cultivation of a sense of interconnectedness is surely the heart of the matter.’ Jerome Bruner, 1966

  29. Why ‘evidence-informed principles’? • affirms a holistic approach to teaching and learning or pedagogy • represents cumulative evidence and experience • supports contextualised judgement by teachers, tutors, practitioners and policy-makers

  30. 1. EQUIPS LEARNERS FOR LIFE IN ITS BROADEST SENSE

  31. 2. ENGAGES WITH VALUED • FORMS OF KNOWLEDGE • 3. RECOGNISES THE • IMPORTANCE OF PRIOR • EXPERIENCE AND LEARNING

  32. 4. REQUIRES THE TEACHER • TO SCAFFOLD LEARNING • 5. NEEDS ASSESSMENT TO • BE CONGRUENT WITH • LEARNING

  33. 6. PROMOTES • THE ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT • OF THE LEARNER • 7. FOSTERS BOTH INDIVIDUAL AND • SOCIAL PROCESSES AS OUTCOMES • 8. RECOGNISES THE SIGNIFICANCE • OF INFORMAL LEARNING

  34. 9. DEPENDS ON • TEACHER LEARNING • 10. DEMANDS CONSISTENT POLICY FRAMEWORKS WITH SUPPORT • FOR TEACHING AND • LEARNING AS THEIR • PRIMARY FOCUS

  35. Case Study: PGCE M Level development

  36. Learning and Teaching in the Core subjects

  37. The Structure of the Module • 10 TLRP Principles • principles 1, and 3 - three core subject sessions face-to-face with subject specific tutors • principles 4, 5, 7 and 8- individual sessions integrating understanding across the core subjects • Principles 2, 6, 9 and 10- self-study tasks

  38. School based tasks and self study tasks- see Appendices A,B,C,D,E, F and G • Principle 2: Engages with valued forms of knowledge • Principle 4: requires the teacher to scaffold the learning • Principle 5: Needs assessment to be congruent with learning • Principle 6: Promotes the active engagement of the learner • Principles 7 and 8: Fosters both individual and social processes and outcomes - and - recognises the significance of informal learning • Principle 9:Depends on teacher learning • Principle 10: Demands consistent policy frameworks with support for teaching and learning as their primary focus

  39. Principle 4 Requires the teacher to scaffold learningGeneric taught session 1 Preparation In preparation for this session you should do the school based task and reading. School based Task How do teachers use questions? From TLRP website http://www.tlrp.org/

  40. Principle 5 Needs assessment to be congruent with learning School based task  • To track and evaluate a sequence of lessons in each of the CORE subjects to see the progress made by different children. • This would be done through the sessions that you teach on ATSE as explained in the school based tasks. • Bring evidence of this to the session on January after school experience. Your examples should include: - • Lesson Plans including learning intention /task /differentiation • Observations of effectiveness of the lesson with regard to learning. • Examples of assessment opportunities. • * Evidence of learning by 3 different children.  (*This should include photocopies of work, recorded observations of work, discussions involving the child(ren), questioning of children by teacher or yourself, notes on how children assessed the lesson.)

  41. Principle 8Recognises the significance of informal learningschool- based task presented in generic session 3 Aim: To implement and evaluate activities which enable the use of informal learning in formal processes. • Task-Boxing clever: using shoeboxes to support home–school knowledge exchange. 1.To Interview two teachers in your school re home-school exchange. Analyse their provision and perceptions. (is it effective? Is it one-way? Is home learning valued? How could it be developed? What might the practical difficulties of further development be?) 2. To implement the ‘Shoebox’ task as described in the Pamela Greenhough article with two children in your Spring School Experience class. 3. To write an evaluation of what this task offered you in terms of opportunities for: a. home- school knowledge exchange b. the possibilities for planning next steps in those children’s learning.
