  1. TOOT HILL SCHOOL

  2. OUR AIM To be recognised as an enterprising school by all in our local community.

  3. HEALTH WARNING Importance Of Being Earnest: Lady Bracknell.I have always been of the opinion that a man who desires to get married should know either everything or nothing. Which do you know? Jack.I know nothing, Lady Bracknell. Lady Bracknell.I am pleased to hear it. I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance….The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.

  4. SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT Clear goals Shared values & beliefs Instructional Leadership APPLYING ENTERPRISE TO A SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT MODEL Frequent monitoring of student progress A common mission Student involvement & responsibility Emphasis on Learning High expectations A climate conducive to learning Physical environments Recognition & incentives Teacher collegiality & development Parental & community involvement & support Positive student behaviour Instructional and curriculum focus

  5. Where does enterprise fit in? Enterprise is a way of life. It is something we do automatically, without conscious thought. Enterprising schools are produced by the actions of all pupils and staff, each and every day.

  10. ENTERPRISE – WHAT’S IT ABOUT? Enterprise in Learning is about pupil centred learning. It is about encouraging pupils to think for themselves, and to be independent learners. It is not about teaching them how to run a business.

  11. New and Different ideas in T & L • Using new and different ideas in T & L – • Using variety of styles – VAK (Visual, Auditory, Kinaesthetic) • Accelerated learning To develop, improve & enrich • Developing their skills: problem solving; thinking skills; creativity • Taking a risk • Challenging learners to work in different ways: • Motivate learners • Have fun in lessons • Contribute to raising achievement

  12. Key Stage 3 Workshops(Yrs 7, 8 & 9) • Every tutor set in KS3 – morning workshop in Enterprise Learning • These mornings are about giving students the skills to be enterprising when they come back into class • It’s not about making connections with specific lessons – it’s about pupils confronting any task or solving any problem in a creative, enterprising way • The more fun it is and the less it appears academic, the more creative and enterprising the students are • Finally when they confront a task in the classroom, that positive experience informs what they do

  13. TEAMWORK • Task designed so pupils have to work together • Challenging but fun • Learning engineered: working with different people range of ability in the group

  14. Teamwork Skills • OPENNESS new ideas • LISTEN to others • SUPPORT those having difficulty • RESPECT others opinions – focus on ‘what can we learn’ rather than ‘who is to blame’ • INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY & ACCOUNTABILITY everyone has a role to play and is part of the team • FEEDBACK each team selects a spokesperson who feeds back team ideas to rest of group

  15. TEAMWORK SKILLS • PROBLEM SOLVING learn to deal with disputes, problems through discussion, disagreement and agreement • MANAGEMENT of time and resources – deadline to work to and limited resources • ORGANISATION organise themselves to complete the task • ROLES who does what?
