Myatt & Co weekly update

Hello colleague,

Here are some films we hope you find helpful.

Chris Such talks through the elements of decoding and reading comprehension with Rachel Higginson and me. It’s a fascinating watch as Chris explains clearly the particular challenges of learning to read in English and the ways of working that make it easier for pupils to learn. Watch the session here.

Nikki McGee explains how she constructs the key stage 3 in religion and philosophy with John Tomsett and me. She wants pupils to have a sound understanding of the Abrahamic and Dharmic faiths, to understand their roots and to know how history has shaped their relationships. She also wants her pupils to understand the reasons for Britain becoming increasingly secular and the reasons why religion is polarised in many parts of the world. Watch here.

Chris Moyse talks about how to develop great teachers and why we should be thinking about how to ‘improve’ not ‘prove’. He outlines an approach that is based on common sense rather than tick boxes and we talk about what it takes to build momentum when we’re thinking about professional development. Watch this here.
