Two New Commissions Available

Published: 28 December 2016
Two new commissions have been added to the Learn Sheffield website. The 'P4C Trial' (funded by EEF and working with NFER and DECSY) may be of interest to primary schools whilst The Geographical Association offer 'Connecting Classrooms' to primary or secondary schools to develop a funded network training programme.

The two commissions below have veen added to the website ...

P4C Trail

Learn Sheffield would like to advertise an EEF-funded NFER national P4C trial on behalf of our colleagues at DECSY (Development Education Centre South Yorkshire). Schools will be randomly allocated to either ‘intervention schools’ or ‘control schools’. Intervention schools will have all KS1 and KS2 teachers trained in P4C and supported by SAPERE trainers to develop P4C as a whole school teaching approach over 3 years leading to the P4C Gold Award. Control schools will not use P4C materials until Sept 2019, will provide data of Y4 pupils and administer questionnaires to those pupils in spring 2017 and 2019. Control schools will then choose to either receive the intervention or a financial incentive of £5,700.

Connecting Classrooms

The Geographical Association seek a school and network leader to recruit and host a network training programme. Ideally the network will run with 10-20 teachers from a range of Sheffield schools. The GA are offering a fully-funded training programme on behalf of the British Council, which seeks to develop and share teachers’ practice and expertise in the British Council’s ‘core skills’ areas of critical thinking and problem solving within humanities subjects.
