During ADDs sessions planned throughout the year all teaching staff engage in Self & Peer Workbook Scrutiny.
They use the same criteria in this activity, the LPS WBS Matrix found in the LPS Teaching & Learning Booklet.
The format is very similar to the SLT Half Termly Workbook Scrutiny; however, an important difference is that teaching staff undertake this system themselves and in collaboration with colleagues.
This approach yields similar gains as SLT Workbook Scrutiny with the addition of key benefits, such as:
Teaching staff undertake forensic style scrutiny of their own work in partnership with a colleague every term.
Overtime, teaching staff gain improved understanding of the matrix criteria providing greater clarity over SLT feedback from Workbook Scrutiny sessions.
Additionally, with greater understanding of the matrix criteria, comes greater ability to apply the requirements that sustain highly effective practice.
More importantly, this approach offers staff the capacity to develop collegiality and professionalism while discussing each other’s successes and areas for improvement.
This approach requires training for all staff in order to maximise the benefits that it can offer whole school improvement.
