• 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.

The interactive seating plan - version 2


For the wow effect in observations, try the interactive seating plan. It colour coordinates pupils progress in relation to a pupils assessment points throughout the year and their individual target. It's quick and simple to fill out and only takes 5 minutes to complete. All you need to do is copy the data from a sims or serco spreadsheet, into the data sheet for the seating plan. Then it's as simple as putting a number in a box, namely the pupils number, on the seat you want them in and excel does the typing for you. 
So why use it:
  • It looks professional, and will have the wow effect.
  • It clearly shows progress
  • It is easy to identify students who need intervention
  • Allows you to identify your target pupils (fsm, pupil premium, G&T and SEN)
  • It shows all necessary data, for inspection and observations (fsm, premium pupils, raise, ks2 grades, ks3grades, fft and even a box for sen and g&t info)
  • It's quick and simple to do
  • Updates the seats automatically when you add or change data in the spread sheet.
  • Moving a pupils seat is as easy as typing a 1-2 digit number. 


 Thanks for reading
