• Blog of the month

    Classroomtm is the blog of the month. It is run by Stephen Lockyer, who is a Deputy Head in Kent. You can follow him on twitter @MrLockyer. The site holds a collection of educational ideas and concepts including books, articles and Drop boxes. Within the Dropbox section there is access to a wealth of resources and ideas, separated into whole school and subject specific.

  • Resource of the month

    Ski Slope Learning allows for people to get to the same end result from different starting points. If you think about ski slopes there are several different degrees of difficulty, with green being the easiest and black being the hardest, however no matter which route you take you always get to the bottom. This method allows pupils to work at their own individual paces and has differentiated routes to ensure all pupils achieve the learning objective. The ski slope method also provides the opportunity for pupils to work independently and allows for rapid progressions.

  • How to share

    Do you have a great resource, idea or article about teaching and learning? If so please email a short explanation, any documents and any images about the resource to northfieldtl@northfieldssc.org.

  • Up and coming events

    Teachmeets are an opportunity for teachers to share ideas with other teachers. In a busy day, you rarely have time to have in depth conversations with other colleagues, let alone share resources. Volunteers are welcome to present their ideas in slots ranging from three minutes to seven. Come along and share good practice. All school teachers are welcome, please follow the link to sign up.

Using SOLO Taxonomy in practice.


 
 
 
 
 
The attached power point is a record of how I have experimented with, and where I wish to go with Solo Taxonomy. 
I hope it provides an example of how easily and quickly learning at a deeper level can be tracked and monitored by both the teacher and students using the common language and symbols of Solo Taxonomy. 
I aimed to show through the examination of the plot line of Macbeth how students can deepen their understanding of the plot line at each stage and then take it to another level. My aim now is to alter a Drama scheme of work and to integrate the language of Solo Taxonomy and to assess the impact on students' learning and drive to achieve in the classroom.
