Teaching Pupils how to Develop Motivation and Resilience

Target audience

All school staff

Description

It is said that if ‘boredom is a state of mind’, then so too is ‘motivation and having the desire to learn,

a determination to develop and the resilience to carry on’. This workshop is designed to give

participants an opportunity to explore Motivation and Resilience and how we might help our young

people develop these important traits which are top of the list of qualities needed to survive the ever-

changing demands of the 21st Century.

Aims

The workshop will give participants the opportunity to explore:

What we mean by ‘resilience’

What intrinsic & extrinsic factors affect our ability to be resilient

How we can help young people grow and develop ‘resiliency buffers’

What part ‘labels’ and ‘belief’ play in growing or diminishing motivation

How changing a word might help to change attitudes and outcomes

Whether the language we use really does encourage young people

towards successful outcomes

Approach

This training is split between two separate sessions in order to give space for

participants to progress their thinking and to put some ideas into practice. The

sessions will be a mixture of theory and practical exercises, encouraging interaction throughout in order to share,

question and discuss.

“The course has given

me more ideas for ways

forward with the new

curriculum that are fun

and creative for the children”

Teacher, St Helen’s

Primary School

Rebooting Computing – Understanding the New Primary

Computing Curriculum

Target Audience

Primary school teachers who need to better understand the changes that are

coming for KS1 and KS2 Computing and how it will affect the way the subject is

approached when the new curriculum is launched.

Description

SET’s digital programme ‘Rebooting Computing’ has been conceived as a way

of reinvigorating the subject of ICT/computer science in schools following the

Government’s scrapping of the ‘dull and uninspiring’ ICT curriculum in January 2012.

The new curriculum for ‘Computing’ demands a completely new approach to the subject. For KS1 and KS2 there will be far

more emphasis on how computers and technology works, designing and writing programmes, understanding algorithms, using

logical reasoning to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programmes as well as understanding how computer networks

and the internet works.

Facilitator Tom Stacey will take participants through each of the requirements of the new curriculum, explaining the theory and

the concepts behind them and providing advice and tips on how to up-skill quickly and effectively, using the latest theory and

resources on computing. He will also introduce a number of software applications that can be used with younger children in

order to help them understand computational thinking, algorithms and programme design.

Aims

To introduce the National Curriculum for Computing changes

To understand the rationale for the changes

To highlight the differences and progression proposed from KS1 to KS2

To introduce some hardware and software that can used in schools in Computing lessons

To provide an introduction to a set of practical resources on computing theory including books, websites, software and video tutorials

To provide practical ways to transfer this knowledge into the classroom

Approach

The session will include presentations, open discussion and questions and answer session.

There will also be the opportunity for participants to get hands on with hardware and software

packages including Scratch, Raspberry Pi and Makey Makey. There will also be a wealth of online resources to follow up after

the session.


Tom Stacey is a computer scientist and educator who is passionate about sharing cutting edge IT research and practice with

learners of all ages. Tom worked at the world famous Ultralab Research centre in Essex, and now teaches on Postgraduate

courses at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge. Tom’s work teaching programming to children has taken him around the

Second Annual Learning Mentor Conference with Jenny Mosley

Target audience

All existing or aspiring Learning Mentors and those with an interest in their role.

Description

Building on the success of our first conference with Vic Goddard (Principal of

Passmores Academy, Harlow and star of Educating Essex) we are delighted to

welcome Jenny Mosley as our Keynote Speaker for the 2014 conference.

Aims

As well as listening to Jenny’s motivational speech course delegates will have the opportunity to select from a

menu of workshops to suit individual needs and there will be opportunities to network with colleagues in similar roles.

Approach Keeping Our Spirits High – A Keynote Presentation For Learning Mentors

The key to releasing ‘excellence’ in others lies in your own positive energy. If you can ‘be the change you want to see’ (Ghandi)

then you can inspire others. However life is complex and the bridges of communication between us all often need restoring.

Therein lies the spiritual dimension of our work. Keeping a sense of perspective is essential. Seeing the humour in situations

will ensure that you do not feel the sting too sharply and therefore you are more able to keep the balance. During this keynote

Jenny hopes to help you focus on your own emotional, social and spiritual intelligence, reactivate your own sense of playfulness

and encourage you to laugh at your foibles. Jenny would also love you to leave with a wider vision of what can be achieved if

people are kinder to themselves and each other.

The will also be a range of workshops to include:

Pupil Resilience and Motivation

Running of Vibrant Circle Times to Support Social and Emotional Learning

Depression and Worrying Behaviours

Understanding, Setting up and Running Groups

About the Speaker

Jenny is a highly acclaimed author and trainer both in the UK and Internationally. She has worked with governments and advisors on how to create emotionally intelligent schools. Jenny taught on a master’s degree for many years at Bristol University supervising a range of action research projects on the importance of circle time and building children’s self-esteem.

Rebooting Computing - iPad in the Learners’ Hands

Target Audience

Teachers from Primary and Special schools who would like to learn more about how to get started with iPads and consider its

relevance to a range of subject areas and skill sets. The course may also be relevant to Secondary teachers who would like to

find out about how KS3 pupils could use an iPad for effective learning across the curriculum.

Description

SET’s digital programme ‘Rebooting Computing’ is has been conceived as a way of reinvigorating the subject of ICT/computer

science in schools following the Government’s scrapping of the old ‘dull and uninspiring’ ICT curriculum. The new curriculum

focus is Computing with a greater emphasis on creativity and getting ‘under the bonnet’ of technology.

There are many different approaches that schools can take to inspire pupils at all levels to become ‘creative’ with technology

rather than simply learning how to use it. iPad and other new technologies are great way of engaging learners. The iPad

provides a fun, powerful, yet easy to use set of tools that anyone can pick up quickly. Apps can be used by students of all

abilities and as teachers we can harness the power of the iPad to ensure its full potential for learning is met.

Aims

To learn about and understand the iPad and to gain a basic understanding of how to use it

To understand the different ways that the iPad can be used when learning with others: Collaboration apps

To gain an insight into how the iPad can be a good way of engaging students through making: creating movies,

animations and QR codes

To gain practical skills in establishing the use of the iPad through exploring, enquiring and practising: Basic

programming apps, searching skills, field trips, phonics and videos

To gain practical skills in using assessment tools, language apps and augmented reality.

To discuss the implementation of effective iPad use strategies in schools

Approach

Participants on the course are encouraged to bring their own iPad,

although some will be available for those who cannot. Participants will use

the iPad in various different contexts covering subjects from across the

curriculum, have an opportunity to gain hands on experience, and be able

to ask questions and get practical advice on how to work with iPads in

their particular school settings. This course will enable participants to gain

a rounded understanding of the subject, inspired in part by the NESTA

report ‘Decoding Learning’ which analysis the many different approaches

to learning with technology based first and foremost on good teaching

practice.

Therapeutic Arts

Target audience

All Staff in Primary and Secondary Educational Settings who

have responsibility for working supportively with children on a

1:1 basis or in small groups.

Description

Traditionally we rely on words to support troubled youngsters.

We expect them to respond on an intellectual level. We get in

response: “Dunno,” “I’m bored,” “I get picked on,” “It’s not

fair...” We often feel that we get nowhere. Emotional

memories may be stored as wordless, irrational representations of

emotional life. Pre-verbal experiences often link to Attachment (Bowlby). Children

then bottle up these feelings and they leak out, often in the guise of extreme or irrational behaviour: bullying,

aggression, separation anxiety, depression... The use of the arts utilizes the creative process which exists within each of us.

Creative activity can increase brain levels of serotonin (linked to depression). Image and metaphor enables connections in the

child’s inner world. A healthier society is one in which the expression, communication and effective handling of emotional

experience within a safe and supportive arena is not merely the property of a few psychologically-minded people, or restricted to

an art gallery or theatre. It should be possible for many more people to be emotionally free, to be able to express, communicate

and handle their feelings. These workshops will provide an introduction to the therapeutic use of the arts and will use a variety

of different art forms. Each art medium offers different sorts of experiences. People sometimes choose to communicate or

externalise inner visual pictures (through art/play/clay/sand), sometimes inner and outer dialogues and voices (through role

play, puppets) and sometimes inner energies (through movement/music).

Aims

To understand how the arts can help young people with their feelings

To feel more confident and able to support young people through the use of the arts

Delegates will begin to understand what drives student behaviour

To learn the facilitation skills helpful when responding to the images and metaphors produced by young people

To experiment freely with any of the following: paint, sand-tray, puppets, clay, music, movement, drama, poetry,

postcards, guided visualisations and story.

Approach

The sessions will provide some theory and discussion, plus lots of exploration. There will be opportunities to experiment with a

range of art mediums in a non-threatening way. There is absolutely no need to have any experience of the arts in order to

benefit from these workshops, just a willingness to experiment and have fun.

Target audience

All class teachers, primary or secondary who seek better dialogue in the classroom, whether they are already

doing P4C or are looking for a standalone approach to Thinkers’ Talk.

Description

The first half of the course covers “Help Me Find My Voice”, a set of principles designed to draw Wallflower

Children into the conversation. Activities will illustrate ways to engage children who are worried about getting

things wrong, struggle to form opinions, find listening a struggle, or have discovered that “I dunno” is a good

way to get out of being asked to speak.

Before the half-time coffee, there will be a “commercial break” during which Jason (Philosophy Man ) will

show some resources that are available for purchase, including “The Works”, a comprehensive package of

DVDs, minibooks and an indexed compendium of downloadable resources priced at £150 + VAT.

The second half focuses on Thinkers’ Games, a collection of activities for making thinking physical. The

games look different on the surface but share an underlying structure that helps all learners engage with

dialogue and become more independent in their thinking. All participants will receive a copy of Thinkers’

Game minibook and access to an e-book of the Help Me Find My Voice principles.

Aims

- Practical strategies for engaging reluctant speakers

- Methods for creating engaging questions

- Get away from spoon feeding and foster independence

- Counter disaffection by turning discussions into games

Approach

A series of activities to illustrate a range of pedagogical principles that participants can integrate into their

teaching practice. The facilitation method used is the “principle sandwich” in which brief explanations of the

principles are sandwiched between contrasting activities. The first activity shows you that the idea works and

the second deepens your understanding.
