Description

Responding to student underpreparedness. If students often seem underprepared for class, consider beginning by asking yourself the following questions: GSB students have reported that a sense of community can help them feel more connected to your course and be ready to take risks in the classroom, increasing their potential for learning. Here are a few examples of ways to foster community with your students: Think about how you’ll solicit questions from students and discuss these ideas or approaches with the guest speaker. For example, you may have students send questions in advance and then call on the students during the session to ask the question live. Allow students to practice the skills or explore the knowledge they’ll need to complete assignments and assessments in low stakes environments, such as:

Include discussion questions that ask students to draw on personal experiences, perspectives, or expertise, especially in required courses.Break down lectures into digestible segments (10-20 minutes) interspersed with interactive opportunities. Think about your sessions in terms of segments of presentation, participation, reflection, small group work, and debrief. GSB students work hard and have lofty learning goals, but it can still help to put guardrails in place to ensure students are held accountable in class. Are students feeling overwhelmed? Is the course schedule modulated so that students aren’t working on too many different assignments at once? These are explored in an evidence-based way that feeds directly into the delivery of professional development. For example, the ‘morning morality effect’ suggests time of day for teacher CPD can affect its impact: afterschool training sessions, according to the research, take place at the time when we are likely to be least productive, and less honest and vulnerable about our areas of development.

Effective PD thrives when we have clarity and consensus around 'what good looks like'. The Playbook is the most comprehensive attempt to codify great teaching in the UK to date. If you are unsure, ask students periodically how they feel their assignments are going. It may help to ask students to reflect on what they could do differently to improve their own learning and what concrete ideas they have for how you could help them succeed.

Summary

Ungraded practice of presentations or skills completed in-class, in review sessions, or as optional assignments. Provide multiple opportunities and ways for students to get help on assignments or when preparing for assessments.

After or during lectures, have students discuss questions or complete a practice problem in small groups. The Teaching and Learning Playbook's premise of using clear models of excellence to evaluate teaching performance, combined with its video library, means it is an invaluable tool for teacher development. Its approach to developing a shared language of excellence and setting high standards for teaching is accessible and actionable.
