5. SER Submission Deadline 11 th April 2016 Details in Programme & S3P Hanbooks

6. SER Aims Undertake a small-scale research project on the effectiveness of a school policy on an educational issue; Relate and compare government and school policies and the actual practices carried out in school. (In the context of theoretical literature?) Demonstrate understanding of an issue and how it relates to the educational progress of pupils;

7. A suggested strategy Identify your chosen SER topic Search for and identify relevant literature Review the literature - key issues Decide on a research question Decide on research methods and therefore data sources: manager(s), teachers, pupils, etc. Discuss the SER with your PCM in school (on SE2 visit if possible)/APT and your S3P Tutor Compare your findings with school/government policies and research literature Discuss any issues from research, policy & practice with your tutor

8. Data collection Read stuff first Decide what data to collect and how Can you share the load? Decide on what you want to find out and who can answer your questions Set up meetings well in advance Allow time to analyse your data

9. Structure Introduction (context, question) Research literature review National Policy/guidance review School policy review Methodology/ethics Presentation of data Analysis/Evaluation of data Conclusions

11. SE2 Teaching Build up to around 12 hours of teaching (9-12) Attached to a tutor group (usually not mentor’s), gaining PSHE (or similar) experience Parents’ evenings, Open Evenings, trips, extra- curricular experience, Inset, Department/Year Group meetings, report writing (or contribution to) etc See Programme Handbook p. 48ff.

12. Teaching Similar build up: Observation and getting to know the class, team teaching/parts of lessons, marking Move to full timetable may be quicker than SE1 (but for you and mentor/PCM to negotiate) Overall, across SE1 & 2, must have sufficient KS3, KS4 and post-16 experience.

13. Exam classes You will need experience of exam classes At minimum, working with small group/team teaching/teaching a short sequence/ one topic over a couple of weeks Schools sometimes accommodate via timetable of 9 hours + varied experience of exam classes during the additional hours.

14. Outside of timetable Continue to observe one or two lessons outside Classics per week (range of styles, newly qualified teachers, observing classes you teach in other lessons, an IWB expert, etc, etc) Non-contact half-day: anything you might not have experienced, visiting other schools NB It’s not intended for day-to-day work such as planning and marking.

15. Support & feedback Discuss week’s outline sequence in advance Discuss draft plans in advance Remember to focus on what you want the students to gain from the lesson and how will you and they know At least one formal written observation per week, as soon as start teaching (often more, as you will be teaching more classes).

16. Other observations One visit from me (unless more required/requested) Observation by PCM or APT PCM QA observation with mentor Potential visit from External Examiner (May)

17. Observation visits Teach a complete lesson to a full class, providing: Your lesson plan and teaching materials Your plan & evaluation of the previous lesson with the class Your outline plan for the whole teaching sequence Your assessment records for the class Seating plan for the lesson (Ideally some marked work for the class, information from which has been recorded ) In addition, evidence of progression in planning lessons and sequences, marking work and recording, and assessing pupils’ progress and evaluating lessons then using these to improve your teaching. ie Professional Practice File, Professional Development Profile, and discussions with you and Mentor (and PCM).

18. PPF class list and seating plans assessment record of students’ strengths, weaknesses and progress (more than just a table of marks or grades; ie specific knowledge, skills, concepts, errors and misconceptions), any IEPs, any comments on Ss. outline plans for sequences of lessons. plan for each lesson including LOs, and how you will teach and assess these. if possible, a copy of material you used for the lesson (e.g. exercise or passage from a book) and homework, with answers and mark schemes where appropriate. copies of all assessments used. your evaluation of every lesson including students’ achievement of learning objectives and referring to specific instances or Ss, accompanied by suggestions for improvement in future lessons. a few copies of assessed work, selected to show progress in providing constructive focused feedback and targets which you follow up. all written evaluations of your lessons by teachers, tutors and students. a record of the work you are doing with your tutor group and in PSHE, ideally in the form of a week-by-week account of tutorial lessons and of issues that arise.

19. Might also include: notes of lessons you observe. materials and ideas for activities which you did not use. Notes or minutes of meetings you attend e.g. department, year. record of further professional responsibilities, along with comment on your role/ effectiveness in that role. a record of extra-curricular activities involved in. further samples of students’ work.

21. Standards Grading – see Assessment of Professional Practice Grid Standards exemplification Standards further summarised – which standard is it? Do you have similar evidence Sample self-assessment for PPR2 Reminders: PDP (sample extract) Pen portrait – update as necessary
