NUMERACY |
|
As a follow up to previous working memory training. Staff received inhouse refresher training on what working memory is and what the impact of having a poor working memory can be on learning. We discussed some of our pupils who we think may have a poor working memory. This was followed up with some ideas of games/activities that could be used on the units and the teaching staff came up with ideas of how they could support working memory in their lessons. This has been followed up with 1:1 discussions with unit leaders to support the choice of games/activities, and with school staff as needed.
During last year the Maths working party developed our own Calculations Policy. This was shown to all school staff through several meetings, we demonstrated the resources we use, gave examples of the difficulties our pupils experience and gave all teaching staff a list of ideas of how they could incorporate numeracy in their subjects.
