How might schools organise their exceptional closure day in order to provide the best possible feedback?
Schools are free to organise the day as they see fit. • A possible way might include: – showing the video to staff to set the scene and provide a short overview, – a powerpoint presentation to all staff or within Departments, using the slides and notes provided – consider by Departmental or Learning Area the detailed proposals for the subject strand that affect them, raising questions and making suggestions that might be fed back in the consultation; – assessment should be an integral part of these discussions, but there should also be a specific sub-group to consider the assessment proposals: – a plenary feedback session to provide SMT with main highlights from Departmental, small group and whole staff views; – discussion and agreement on an action plan to ensure the completion of the school’s on-line response, either as a whole school or by Area/subject strand.
