A one-day introductory workshop for secondary teachers, exploring the practicalities of bringing the PLTS alive in classrooms.
Changing the curriculum at KS3 means deepening and developing students’ learning habits. QCA’s Personal, Learning and Thinking Skills provide a framework for understanding the habits that all young people should acquire as a foundation for maximum achievement at KS4 and beyond. This workshop digs beneath these broad terms to the specific skills that are needed and explores what teachers can do to build these lifelong habits.
The content includes
- Unpicking the PLTS into learning habits.
- Learning experiences that build PLTS.
- Practical classroom activities.
- Teaching routines.
- Recognising progression in PLTS.
- New ways to scaffold learning.
- An ideal starter workshop for introducing key staff to PLTS.
- Due to the practical nature of the training, we advise up to a maximum of 30 participants.
- We can arrange a separate demonstration of Blaze PLTS Progress for senior staff at the end of the training. Blaze PLTS is an on-line instrument which collects students' perceptions of their use of PLTS and offers in-depth feedback to students and staff. Blaze PLTS can be used to track progress over time.
