Inset days

UFA's experienced team can offer whole school or individual departments inset.

We can provide bespoke programmes or you can draw on a range of individual transforming learning days. Inset training usually focuses on putting recent learning theories into practical teaching and learning strategies.

 

Aims of inset vary depending on the needs of the school but usually include:

  • Outlining some key underpinning principles about learning that can be used to create more innovative, creative, engaging learning/training experiences
  • Explore the relationship between the science of learning and the art of teaching.

 

The inset training can explore

  • how do we unlock the potential of all learners?
  • What do we know about the brain and learning
  • what is a positive mindset for learning?
  • How important are emotions for learning?
  • How can we create deep engagement through strong learning relationships?
  • What is intelligence?

 

Inset Days give staff a opportunity to

  •  Reflect on your classroom practice and consider new strategies for engaging and motivating all learners
  •  Work alongside your colleagues and share your ideas

 

 You will take away:

  •   Lots of practical ideas that you can use in your classroom straightaway
  •  This accompanying booklet to deepen your learning

 

  'I have more confidence having delivered a presentation to staff. I am continually (possibly too much) critical of my performance and invest a lot of energy in evaluation. I will keep trying new tools and techniques in my teaching at all levels'. Secondary School Teacher, Walsall
