    Good evening. Tonight's #ASEChat topic is 'Following CPD, how can we ensure ideas are embedded back in the classroom?'
  • ViciaScience May 8 @ 3:00 PM EDT
    What CPD events have had an impact on your practice? #ASEChat
  • UnleashPriSci May 8 @ 3:01 PM EDT
    Class STEM construction area prep - drilled scraps with tools, screws & bolts! Get stuck in...#scipri #Asechat #scipri
  • ViciaScience May 8 @ 3:01 PM EDT
    Yes. Takes some effort to try things out even before embedding #asechat

  • stevethedoc1 May 8 @ 3:02 PM EDT
    #asechat is it the event or your actions post it that create impact?
    In reply to @ViciaScience
  • ViciaScience May 8 @ 3:03 PM EDT
    CPD via dept, school, twilight, conference, course, further study - which works for you? #ASEChat
  • ViciaScience May 8 @ 3:04 PM EDT
    I think an idea needs to have impact on you individually before you consider trying something new in the classroom #ASEChat

    Hi Steve. 'Impact' - not easy to assess effect of change in classroom practice #asechat

    Hello all you #asechat ters looks like this one is right up my street #CPD # impact (and I didn’t fiddle the voting)
  • aweetweettosay May 8 @ 3:05 PM EDT
    Events which have practical implications in classroom, where learning can be shared, implemented, and discussed within department #ASEChat

    #asechat should be need driven and built in time to feedback, reflect act on to be successful- not just a one off
    In reply to @ViciaScience
  • RacingCM May 8 @ 3:06 PM EDT
    Do we need to always be adding new ideas? Developing existing ideas so the kids have consistently can't be a bad thing... #ASEChat

  • chemDrK May 8 @ 3:06 PM EDT
    Our school now sets aside time for us to meet with colleagues &discuss practice, then observe each other. Finding it really useful #asechat
    In reply to @ViciaScience
  • ViciaScience May 8 @ 3:06 PM EDT
    So does a 'quick' teach meet have similar impact to extended online course? #asechat #durationnotafactor

    Ongoing course/further study which provided opportunities for feedback and development. #ASEChat

    Including reflection time, & constructing a plan of action, with expectation that you will ‘report back’ to LM about those actions #asechat
  • SKLchem May 8 @ 3:08 PM EDT
    #asechat If it changes practice in a positive way, yes! We have lunchtime dept. teachmeets where we share ideas - can then see in practice
    In reply to @ViciaScience
  • stevethedoc1 May 8 @ 3:08 PM EDT
    #asechat need strategies, techniques, processes in school/ class to enable idea to be tried/ developed whatever CPD type
    In reply to @ViciaScience, @SKLchem
  • OLewis_coaching May 8 @ 3:09 PM EDT
    Given that everyone has different needs, a mix of all the above across a dept is good! #ASEchat
    In reply to @ViciaScience
  • NeedhamL56 - Moderator May 8 @ 3:09 PM EDT
    Extends the engagement time with PD, (not just in a ‘session’ ) more likely to influence what happens in c/room #ASEChat
  • aweetweettosay May 8 @ 3:09 PM EDT
    Think yes, but process is slower. Shared conversation and reflection is important -both for teacher motivation & development #ASEChat
    In reply to @ViciaScience
  • ViciaScience May 8 @ 3:09 PM EDT
    Comments from #ASEChat so far suggest ime seems to be a major factor - for reflection, discussion, assimilation and developing expertise

    In reply to @ViciaScience
  • chemDrK May 8 @ 3:12 PM EDT
    agree! And it needs to be ongoing. Not just a one-off. Some way of discussing further and evaluating and developing beyond initial #ASEChat

    Also the MOOC on AfL and hinge point Q's really helpful. Was shared with dept too #ASEchat

    What forms of CPD do people find most effective at providing 'new directions and practices'? #ASEChat
  • NeedhamL56 - Moderator May 8 @ 3:13 PM EDT
    The initial PD is just the start, a small egg, but needs to be nurtured in school to hatch and grow #analogy #asechat

    Time at the CPD to come up with a simple action plan then committing to review regularly thru year to evaluation and modify #asechat
  • aegilopoides May 8 @ 3:14 PM EDT
    Some of the courses I've been on have a follow up a couple of months later so that you can share what you've done since. #ASEchat

  • ViciaScience May 8 @ 3:14 PM EDT
    As always - a key question! How to embed ideas gained in CPD in classroom practice #asechat
    In reply to @oboelizzy
  • A_Weatherall - Moderator May 8 @ 3:15 PM EDT
    I really like the STEM centre model. They require you to plan for impact to get money back on CPD training (ENTHUSE award) #asechat
  • chemDrK May 8 @ 3:15 PM EDT
    yes. But this is, unfortunately, one of the trickiest things for schools to find! But I think it's worth prioritising. #ASEChat
    In reply to @ViciaScience
  • dave2004b May 8 @ 3:15 PM EDT
    I've found the 'CPD in a nutshell' sheets used at SLC courses useful, learning round outside, four key ideas inside... 1/2 #asechat
  • mrsjmclark May 8 @ 3:15 PM EDT
    dept support helps impact happen faster.Also SLT support is essential for some things, particularly edtech options. #ASEChat
    In reply to @ViciaScience
  • NgeeOg May 8 @ 3:15 PM EDT
    #asechat How do u share ideas with experienced teachers? Habits difficult to let go.
  • dave2004b May 8 @ 3:16 PM EDT
    .... core action plan in the middle - one A4 sheet, pin it up by your desk - good constant reminder over time #asechat
  • NeedhamL56 - Moderator May 8 @ 3:16 PM EDT
    The process used by @STEMLearningUK does exactly this, it’s good to hear so much support for this way of gaining extra value #ASEChat

    Research groups in schools would be good, where teachers within/across dept. can focus on a shared area throughout the year. #ASEChat

    #asechat evening all, just logged in are we just chatting about cpd?
  • oboelizzy May 8 @ 3:17 PM EDT
    #asechat CPD needs to be planned from outset to incorporate classroom practice, constant evaluation+monitoring!
  • NeedhamL56 - Moderator May 8 @ 3:17 PM EDT
    To some extent if they don’t do it they are throwing £££ down the drain. There has to be some responsibility in school for support #ASEChat
    In reply to @chemDrK, @ViciaScience
  • ViciaScience May 8 @ 3:17 PM EDT
    Correct - and how to make classroom impact significant #asechat
    In reply to @gregtheseal

    Yes Greg, and how we embed it back at the ranch #asechat
    In reply to @gregtheseal
  • ViciaScience May 8 @ 3:18 PM EDT
    A couple of emerging points - 1) school culture, support, expectations needs to be positive for CPD to have impact #asechat

    2) having a process involving planning, reporting, reviewing and evaluating helps embed CPD ideas in classroom practice #ASEChat

    #asechat important to encourage constant reflective practice amongst staff
  • ViciaScience May 8 @ 3:21 PM EDT
    So must schools have a formal structure in place (dept meeting, research gp etc) for CPD to be effective for their staff? #ASEChat
  • hrogerson May 8 @ 3:22 PM EDT
    Working with someone else means you can discuss and follow up what you've done. Gives an incentive. #asechat
