What do we want?
• If we want pupils to be successful, responsible and confident learners they need to come across inspirational teachers

• We need to believe that deep learning is better than coverage

Our pupils need to
• Be challenged and get it wrong…….and then get over it!
• Work collaboratively so they can influence each other
• Recognise when they have a problems and take responsibility for dealing with it
