Renaissance
Since the introduction of Learning Progressions almost a decade ago, there are more tools than ever to support with mapping the curriculum. However, pandemic disruption to teaching and learning means that many pupils have missed key skills – what are these and how can they be addressed efficiently?
This session introduces Focus Skills, the fundamental ‘building blocks’ to student understanding and pre-requisites to future learning, and Trip Steps, those which are disproportionately difficult for students to learn at the year level expected. Together, they provide an invaluable support to inform teaching and instruction, and help to quickly close gaps in understanding.

Without your staff being the very best that they can be, how can you expect your students to do the same?
