Welcome to our Learning @PL Hub! Here you'll find information about how we are developing our understanding of learning and teaching alongside exciting offers of CPD from our own staff! This is a place to share all the wonderful enquiries that we're undertaking and get involved in discussions about the impact of these on our young people.
Here at Preston Lodge, our teaching staff use a consistent methods of planning so that all of our students experience the same high quality learning in their classes. See below for details of how we work on this.
Underpinning every learning experience is the classroom environment that it sits within. Our culture is influenced by various factors and these are carefully managed to create the best possible setting for learning to occur.
We consider how to Make Thinking Visible in our classrooms and embed thinking routines to support our young people to be aware of their thinking. Click here for more details.
Our way of being in the classroom is framed using our 6rs which allows for a clear set of expectations for students and staff alike.
Mindset is central to our learning at PL and we consistently nurture a growth mindset in our students that they can benefit from both in and out of the classroom. Click here for more details.
The first stage in our lesson planning process is our bespoke Planning for Purpose tool which enables us to collaboratively plan and develop units of work that are quality assured as best practice. This tool allows a holistic approach to unit planning where we focus on what success would look like for our students and, following that, how we can approach the learning.
Our Learning Cycle is based on an Accelerated Learning Cycle model which research has shown has a positive effect on learner engagement. Our staff aim to collaboratively plan lessons using the cycle.
