Where have you developed some bad habits that you would like to fix? Complete the self assessment of the standards or remind yourself where you were at by the end of your NQT year.

Plan your action

Gap task

RQT (Early Career) Training Programme   Gap Task 1 Complete your action plan and plan your first Lesson Study. Prepare two research questions or focus areas that you would like to explore at our next session on 1st November 2018: an elective lesson study at Beechwood Junior School or Townhill Infant School. Don’t make the questions too specific. For KS1 and KS2, they will need to be addressed within a maths or literacy context. Try to link them to your own Lesson Study so that they inform different approaches you might wish to trial yourself. Email your questions to: andrewcrosby@beechwoodjuniorschool.co.uk by 18th October, specifying which key stage and if you would prefer to observe maths or literacy.
