These meetings will provide: - An opportunity to receive local/national updates and information impacting on schools’ work to support Disadvantaged Learners
- A chance to meet up and share good practice with other Disadvantaged Learner Leads
- A focus on particular key areas of relevance/research
We will provide national Pupil Premium updates and in addition, we will cover two interesting and vital areas for Disadvantaged Learners this term:
(1) The July 2018 Education Policy Institute Report - Education in England - considers how the disadvantage gap has changed since 2011 and how it varies across the country. Whilst we will refer to this report and the reference it makes to the Primary phase, we will spend time looking at practical implications for classroom practice, and how we can link three areas of research by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), Mastery, Metacognition and Peer Tutoring, into classroom activity that has the potential to really make a difference for Disadvantaged Learners.
(2) We are fortunate to be joined at these meetings by Ian Abbott from the SEND Service (Cognition & Learning), who – with his particular perspectives - will lead us in useful ways through aspects of the Growth Mindset approach, and the relevance and support this can provide for our most vulnerable learners.
