• Learning Outside the Classroom - Why & How? Whilst a lot of teachers are aware that learning outside the classroom (LOtC) can have enormous benefits, many are uncertain about how they can develop their own LOtC practice and give their pupils the opportunity to access these benefits. In this session, Sally Thompson of the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom, will look at what we mean by LOtC and why it can be such a powerfully positive method of teaching. She will offer practical lesson ideas and tips for overcoming potential barriers and look at some real-life examples of schools embedding LOtC into their everyday teaching.
• Using evidence from standardised tests to show attainment and progress Since the abolition of national curriculum levels, schools have needed to adopt their own approaches to monitoring attainment and progress. This session focuses on how schools can use robustly developed standardised tests to reliably assess pupils. During the year, information about pupils’ relative strengths and weaknesses can inform teaching and curriculum design. At the end of the year, teachers can use the standardised data summatively as part of their teacher assessment. The myths about standardised assessments will be discussed by Liz Twist (head of Assessment Research and Product Development at the National Foundation for Educational Research) and Sir Andrew Carter (Executive Headteacher at South Farnham School Educational Trust, and a National Leader of Education); attend this session to gain accurate information on the development of reliable standardised tests and the benefits to teachers and pupils.

February 22nd, the tenth annual What Kids Are Reading report: independently authored by Professor Keith Topping, Professor of Educational and Social Research at Dundee University: is the largest study of its kind, and explores the book-reading habits of pupils from Years 1-11 in British primary and secondary schools. In this session, Lauren Shapiro, former teacher and Senior Programme Manager at Renaissance Learning, will discuss some of the key findings from the 2018 report and other information on the books most read and most enjoyed by almost 1 million children across the entire 2016-17 school year.
• Working with SEND pupils in a primary classroom With the increase in the number of children with complex needs in mainstream schools, teachers need to have a clear understanding of the individual needs of their pupils, how to differentiate and personalise learning to meet these individual needs and how to track progress and show impact of their teaching. During this session Lorraine Peterson, OBE and Educational Consultant, will offer
practical strategies and solutions for supporting children with a variety of SEND in a primary classroom.
