10th October 2019 | 4th December 2019 | 6th February 2020 | 25th March 2020 West Exe School, Exeter Introduction The most significant educational researchers today are transforming our understanding of how we learn and what, as teachers, we do that has the greatest impact on learning. Established theories such as Cognitive Load and approaches such as Spaced Practice and Interleaving have wide-ranging implications for teaching, assessment and curriculum design in Maths. These ideas, once fringe, are now central to the new Ofsted framework and the Early Career Framework. However, there are many long-standing practices that are empirically proven to be low or no- impact. Our challenge then is to bring the latest education research to inform how we design our curricula in maths and the approaches we take to teaching and assessment. Following on from the superb programme last year, TSSW is delighted to be working with Craig Barton, a leading Maths teacher in England – to deliver an innovative approach to what Outstanding Quality of Education in Maths really is.

2th November 2019 | 14th January 2020 | 28th April 2020 St James C of E Primary and Nursery School, Okehampton Introduction There have always been challenges that face EYFS practitioners, trying to juggle the balance between formal learning opportunities and inspiring children through a play-based learning approach. With Ofsted’s focus shifting towards the development of curriculum and the proposed introduction of a more knowledge based EYFS Framework, it is essential that practitioners continue to focus on how children learn and develop, using up to date research, as well as ensure that they are meeting the latest statutory requirements. Our challenge is to consider an innovative approach to what Outstanding Quality of Education in EYFS really is, considering both effective research and the practical elements of how this will look indoors and outdoors in a Nursery or Reception classroom. This course is suitable for EYFS practitioners who have been teaching in EYFS for at least one year. Aims • Develop a deep understanding of the latest education theory of early learning and its implications for the design of curricula, teaching and assessment in EYFS • Be able to apply over time these practices to your own classroom • Create a network of EYFS practitioners that support and challenge each other to develop their practices over time Cost TSSW Members (DTSA, Exeter Consortium TSA, SWTSA): £295 per delegate. Other colleagues: £375 per delegate. Open to all EYFS practitioners. ![]() About Suzie Stevens & Emma MacDonald Suzie is Head of School at St James C of E Primary and Nursery School in Okehampton and also an SLE for EYFS for Dartmoor TSA.
