Learning menu's staff training

After an INSET looking at ways of improving the learning in school and encouraging the pupils to take more responsibility for their own education, we have within our department been working on putting lots of these learning menues into our new specification. In the last department meeting, I discussed ways of improving the literacy in Science to improve our results. I showed the team lots of strategies and gave examples of work that I had done with my classes. The staff training on learning menues lends itself perfectly to the application of literacy tasks. I believe that this will help our students to be more confident when they are explaining more complex theories in both the classroom and in the exams.
