Notes on Section K  Innovation and transformation

The main aims of this section are:
  • To reconsider the ‘stories’ about transformations in the light of their further experiences.
  • To build on work already undertaken in planning a single lesson to consider how to extend the approach to sequences of lessons.
Notes on the activity follow:

K1  Review and further planning

In this activity, teachers look back on the experiences that they have had in the two workshops and their trial lesson, and reflect on what they have learned and how their ideas and beliefs have changed (or not). They also look to the future and consider how to begin to use the ideas in longer term planning. This, of course, can only be a start of the process, as there is much work to be done here in thinking about how schemes of work could be changed to incorporate the new ideas; however, it is a useful point at the end of the workshop to begin to think about this process and to share with others the challenges that they think this will bring.
