I attended another CPD session this week, which was pretty timely with the return to school after half-term. The CPD was refreshing and reminded me of some of the great learning I did last year during my training.
I had felt fairly prepared for the new half-term, yet already I am feeling drenched with more tasks and deadlines. However, the session, labelled “Extending our range of teaching strategies”, was uplifting. It reminded me of why we choose to teach – to make learning accessible and valid to our pupils’ development.
I had great fun. First, we watched a clip about fleas in a jar. A demonstration that if you teach fleas to live (and jump) in a confined space they will continue to jump within these confines even if the restriction (the jar) is removed. We were asked how this relates to us and some great ideas were raised and discussed.
