  10. Effective communication

  11. Effective Communication DON’T SHOUT! Variety of loud and quiet Firm and ‘friendly’ Uphold school protocols Don’t use slang or anything that could be construed as swearing Clear and simple Handwriting Body language Smile Written information

  12. Does the Aspirational Teacher: • communicate in ways that demonstrate respect for others? • demonstrate that communication is a two-way process? • listen, build empathy, consult and negotiate effectively? • motivate, support, challenge, and manage learners effectively in order to secure learning? • use questioning effectively? • demonstrate sensitivity, for example, to culture and context when communicating? • communicate effectively both on a one-to-one basis and as a member of a team • use effective and appropriate non-verbal communication? • seek guidance and support from, and communicate positively and effectively with, colleagues and other professionals?

  13. Feedback Good, well done, fine, yes, thank you Written feedback How do you……? How could you…..? Peer feedback Why is that such a good answer? What skills have you gained from this piece of work?

  14. Feedback • Accurate feedback, given at the right time and in a constructive and positive way, helps learners to identify what they have or have not understood, and helps them to progress • Feedback should be constructive, matched to learners’ understanding and language abilities, and should engage learners in reflecting on their progress, and their own learning needs.

  15. So what am I actually going to be doing? Engaging with young people’s learning! • In small groups • One to one • Never alone! • Subject specialisms • Enterprise activity • Widening participation • Extra curricular • HELPING OUT!!

  16. Tasks!

  17. Tasks! • Widening Participation tasks • Enterprise activity

  18. Being a Professional! • Create the right impression • The right word at the right time • Avoiding problems • What should I do now?

  19. Create the right impression! • Arrive on your first day dressed ‘as if for interview’ , then assess the school’s dress code for future reference • Establish what time you are expected to be in school (lateness always creates a bad impression) • Ensure that you have a phone number for the school so that, even on your first day, you can make contact if there is a problem with your arrival time. • Ensure that you understand the school’s policy about being on-site and follow the appropriate protocol if you need to leave the school site.

  20. The right word at the right time! • No matter how annoyed you are, don’t use inappropriate language to, or in front of, a pupil, member of staff or parent. If this does happen, please be proactive in discussing it with the ITE Coordinator / ATP tutor. • Never criticise a member of staff in front of pupils, parents, visitors or other colleagues. Indeed it would be better if you didn’t do it at all! • Please ensure that the language, images or humour that you use do not convey prejudice or stereotypical assumptions about people.

  21. Avoiding problems • Make sure that you do not disclose any confidential information that is shared with you and that you follow the school’s code of practice on data protection, particularly with regard to storing it electronically. • If you are a smoker don’t smoke on school premises nor in the vicinity, nor in any of the pupils’ ‘corners’ • You may be living in the area near to your school. Please avoid potentially unprofessional/embarrassing situations by • not mentioning pupils/staff by name outside of the school grounds: no matter how ‘funny the story’, you don’t know who might be listening to your conversation • having regard to your alcohol intake if you might encounter pupils on leaving the pub • knowing what to do if you find a pupil whom you know to be ‘under-age’ in an age restricted environment • Please make sure that you use the school network and internet only for school work related purposes • Please ensure that if you use any social networking spaces such as Facebook that you don’t post comments about your placement, staff or pupils on it. • Please bear in mind that images of yourself posted on social networks will be accessible to the pupils that you teach and any other ‘interested party’. Please make sure that you review what you have posted before you start your school based work.

  22. What should I do now? • If a parent (or pupil) is aggressive to you either in or out of school please speak immediately to your ITE Coordinator/ATP tutor (in school) and the Partnership Director (01392 724717 or j.a.sumner@ex.ac.uk). This is serious and should not be ignored. • If you encounter discrimination of any sort against you or others, please do not ignore it. Discuss the issue with your ITE Coordinator/ATP tutor and the Partnership Director (details above) so that the issue can be appropriately addressed. • If you encounter something that you consider to be a child protection issue please discuss the issue with your ITE Coordinator/ATP tutor and the Partnership Director (details above) so that the issue can be appropriately addressed.

  23. Code of Conduct • Aspirational Teachers should behave professionally at all times. • Aspirational Teachers should be a positive role model to all children. • Aspirational Teachers should become familiar with the ethos of the school and promote it. • Aspirational Teachers should dress appropriately, turn off mobiles, attend regularly and be punctual and reliable. • Aspirational Teachers should be respectful towards colleagues and pupils. • Aspirational Teachers should respect confidentiality and must not gossip. • Aspirational Teachers should be aware of school policies and know who the school’s Child Protection Officer is and when to refer to this person. • Aspirational Teachers should understand and be committed to the aims of ATP, have read the documentation and should manage their own professional documents. • Aspirational Teachers should be enthusiastic, willing to participate and actively engage in all of school life; they should take advantage of every opportunity. • Aspirational Teachers should display enthusiasm for their own subject.
