About this course
The Big Staff Meeting: cost effective whole-staff CPD.
Developing staff subject knowledge and understanding of progression (from EYFS to Y6) in a range of subject areas as well as in assessment and SEND, through regular ‘staff meeting’ length interactive, online sessions. Ideal for school staff to watch together, joining in with activities and discussions.
Sessions are live 3:45 – 5:00pm on the given date, with recordings made available afterwards. Watch live on the day as a staff, or save the recording for a more convenient time (alternative day of the week or as an INSET session).
The offer has been expanded for the academic year 2024/25 to include 12 online staff meeting, with sessions cover a wide range of topics.
There are 3 purchasing options:
• The sessions are £129 each (per school),
• A bundle of 6 (foundation subjects and science) can be purchased for £541.80 (per school),
• All 12 sessions can be purchased for £1083,60.
If buying the bundle of 6 or 12 option, then select the appropriate bundle option rather than individual sessions, when purchasing.
Our subject specific ones focus on developing staff subject knowledge and understanding of progression (from EYFS to Y6). We also have sessions focused on meeting the needs of pupils with SEND, and effective assessment strategies.
English: Teaching Poetry: read, study, write, perform
Poetry is a powerful! We know that studying, reading, writing and performing a range of poetry can contribute towards developing pupils’ language, phonics, reading and writing. The Reading Framework outlines the impact that daily rhyme and poetry can have not only on pupils’ vocabulary development but their growing world knowledge and love of reading too! In this session, we will explore how to give poetry greater prominence within English and beyond and will share a wide range of teaching approaches and strategies to elicit strong responses, develop vocabulary and contribute towards creating lifelong readers and writers.

Within each of our Big Staff Meetings staff will:

- Take part in activities and discussions with colleagues in their own school, to explore and deepen understanding
- Develop greater confidence with and understanding of key vocabulary and concepts that sit within each focus subject
