Over the coming year we are very excited to offer the following CPD opportunities for all of our colleagues be they Heads of Department, Teachers of MFL or Masters of MFL (more experienced teachers with a proven track record). Each of the Director team will be leading on one of the following programmes for the full year. Our offer will include two virtual and two face to face sessions with opportunities to continue your professional development journey working with other colleagues across the Trust when putting your newly gained knowledge into practice when you are back in school.
Programmes:
1. Curriculum Implementation - How to adapt your lessons to ensure access for all. This programme will focus on each of our four language skills. We will use current SEND & MFL evidence, research and practice in this area to support you in making your teaching accessible to all - Nicola Harris-Jukes
2. Curriculum Implementation - How to interpret the central curriculum planning tools to support you planning lessons from scratch - Jess Hofheinz
3 Curriculum implementation - Assessment, Marking & Feedback - How to maximise the impact of your marking and help students get more out of SRT.
We will look at evidence based effective ways to mark written work to reduce your workload at the same time as making feedback very specific. We will look at ensuring students produce clear effective SRT in their books, actively acting upon the targets given to them and producing clearly visible improved work in their books - Amélie Petiteville
4. ECTs/ ITTs: MFL Essentials - During this programme we will focus on the following four essential areas to supercharge your teaching: the art of effective planning; unleashing the powers of modelling; the art of effective feedback and motivation and behaviour for learning in MFL - Carine Seimandi and Helen Wareham
5. Strategies for being an excellent MFL HoD - On this programme we will look at strategies to ensure you and your department are as effective as you can be to create an excellent MFL experience for the students in your school.
