Pace: How fast can you go?

1. Pace: How fast can you go?

2. To start with… • Solve the mystery: who was off task for over half the lesson and why? • Put your ideas onto the sugar paper • You have 17 minutes • What ruined the pace of the lesson? • What could the teacher do reduce the impact on the lessons pace and ultimately the pupils learning?

3. Why is pace important? • Appropriate pace: • Allows all pupils to make progress • Improves pupils attainment • Improves pupils motivation and engagement • Reduce classroom management issues

4. How can you maintain pace in lessons? • Effective start to the lesson • Ensure work is sufficiently differentiated • SEN Pupils • MAT Pupils • Have timings clearly stated and stick to them • Structured planning

5. Big challenge for pace • Pupils who have a SEN or are identified as MAT • Discuss and make notes on your sugar paper about how you can prevent a loss of pace when dealing with SEN/MAT pupils • You have 8 minutes

6. Importance of differentiation in maintaining pace • SEN pupils • Differentiated worksheets • Different tasks • Groupings • Use your TA efficiently and effectively • MAT pupils • Differentiated worksheets • Different tasks

7. Golden rules • Create a list of ten rules that a NQT/ITT could use to ensue they have relentless pace in their lesson • You have ten minutes

8. A few helpful things from me… • Two booklets • One is about what we have discussed today • Other booklet is a series of different teaching and learning activities
