Professional Pathways Programme

The aim of the PPP is to provide CPD and experiences for teachers from their second year of teaching up to their fourth year. It may also benefit teachers who are returning to the profession.

Colleagues can follow a Teaching and Learning route or use it as a stepping stone towards leadership positions.

PPP Application and ‘Buddy’

The participant needs to complete a brief application form that will be supported by a Senior Leader.

There needs to be an in-school “buddy’ who can discuss the sessions and gap tasks and facilitate experiences in school.

Being a ‘buddy’ is not a huge commitment, but should be someone with leadership experience.

Create intrigue in your lesson

from the beginning:

• Doesn’t have to be related to the lesson/topic although better if you can!

• No fail questions are good.

• Go for 3 minutes rather than 5. Make them work quickly!

Use interesting images:

Que es el problema?

What do you think this image

is?

What could be happening in this

image?There is no

right or wrong answer!

What has happened? Why? How?

Use interesting images:

Think of FIVE questions you would like to ask about this image.

These people cause flooding in a country hundreds of

blamed for anything?• Does a computer hard drive weigh more when it is full than

when it is empty?• Would you rather go to heaven or remain immortal on Earth?• Has technology made humanity less human?• Is the past more important than the future?• Which is heavier: love or hate?

What's the question? What's the question?
