SOLO, which stands for Structure of Observed Learning Outcome, provides a systematic way of describing how a learner's performance grows in complexity when mastering many tasks.
Suggested by @dougbelshaw as more relevant to 21st C schools than Bloom.
I saw David Puttman talking about this film at a 'Curriculum Foundation' conference ( Mick Waters is just so inspiring!)
We so need to address the issues raised!
If it means that the 95% learn something that inproves the quality of teaching and learning then I can live with that. There might even be 'engagement creep' that will see the 5% grow.
I was there & heard these talks. I wanted to talk about #addcym, TeachMeets, Twitter and all the excellent practice that is out there and the means that the professionals are going to to share. Clearly people presenting weren't aware of this which makes #addcym etc crucial to this sharing.
Thanks Vicki. I wasn't there, but saw the ppts etc. Don't think the conclusions are rocket science, it's actually what we advocate already, and I think we should use precious money to fund the actions ( ie teachers sharing/visiting) rather than spending another year researching obvious and common sense solutions. That's IMHO obviously and all my own views!
Quick look. We used Opening Minds as loose inspiration for the SMART programme at Olchfa, and I went to a couple of the conferences. Thought the students that spoke were excellent.
Didn't quite fit with what we were doing, but if I was starting again, this would be my starting point I think.
