Involving students in your Teaching and Learning culture – Dan Sabato, @Sabato0612, Haberdashers Askes Girls, Herts
This session will look at one of Daniel’s major projects in his first year as Assistant Head which looked to actively engage and allow students to assume a leading role in the process of Teaching and Learning through the Student Forum. This project handed pupils the opportunity to take ownership of their learning in a way they had had little experience of previously.
Sessions in the Forum considered issues ranging from Growth Mindset (and what it really means for their learning) to deciphering Learning Habits and their potential impact. In this session Daniel will discuss how use of Student Forum in the Senior School has encouraged and enabled pupils to develop an increased awareness of why they learn, how they learn and how they can adapt the way they learn to do so most effectively. We will also begin to consider how the work carried out by the Senior School has had an impact in the Junior School setting and, as a result, how that impacts our own thinking as secondary educators.
