tonight. Difference between primary & 2nd'ary #ukedchat

8/26/2010 19:59
Baggiepr: @daviderogers Cant help thinking that joint planning even if just at a overview level would
benefit both sectors. Viewpoint #ukedchat
8/26/2010 19:59

8/26/2010 19:59

#ukedchat

enough? #ukedchat
8/26/2010 20:00
dailydenouement: I think that transition is key to sharing best practice across the phases but not all schools
good at it #ukedchat
8/26/2010 20:00
daviderogers: @squiggle7 But in which direction? 2ry has to match 3ry or pupisl won't have skills needed

planned in in both areas #ukedchat
8/26/2010 20:01

learn.Having a look at the primary version this yr.

experience of it #ukedchat
8/26/2010 20:01
relativism: #ukedchat I think it's great exp to spend time in each I've been able to visit local high
school for obs a few times, I take so much away
8/26/2010 20:01
daviderogers: @mandared my view from exp is that 1ry are independent with the skills - 2ry just treating
them as empty learners, not right #ukedchat
8/26/2010 20:01
colport: I think one main issue/difference is the subject based nature of secondary schools. Less
chance to go cross-curricular? #ukedchat
8/26/2010 20:01
MissSMitch: As 2ry tchr I think we tend to underestimate Y7s. Joint planning would help to solve the
problem. #ukedchat #ukedchat

definition,don't know what other is like! #ukedchat
8/26/2010 20:02
colport: @squiggle7 I agree, but something a practitioner says/uses in a different phase of

teaching may help your pedagogical thinking #ukedchat
8/26/2010 20:02

got to help #ukedchat

eg group work #ukedchat
8/26/2010 20:02

primary in this #ukedchat

hoping to learn lots #ukedchat

or similar, I think that is hard in Sec #ukedchat

give an insight. #ukedchat
