Ofsted reported in June 2009 that most school leaders left curriculum implementation in the hands of department heads, which frequently led to an inconsistent school-wide approach to PLTS.
Without cross-curricular skills links, your students will fail to adequately develop the subject knowledge that is necessary for achieving valuable examination results. This conference is critical for you to develop your students as successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens.
Are you doing everything in your power to raise learner confidence?
This October the 2nd annual Developing Personal Learning and Thinking Skills conference will help you to create a customised whole-school approach to embed the PLTS framework throughout your school. Hear from a variety of schools that have successfully embedded PLTS in their curricula which has led to increased confidence in learning, improved attitudes and behaviour and increased Ofsted Scores.
