Former Teacher of the Year Andy Smith welcomes us into his classroom to demonstrate how creative teaching methods are helping his students with their Assessment for Learning.
Physics teacher Andy, who was named Secondary Teacher of the Year in 2005, has devoted much time and energy to making lessons more exciting and original. He believes that everything to do with physics, and indeed teaching in general, should revolve around fun and excitement.
Most recently, Andy has been using AfL techniques to help his pupils focus on their own learning. He has developed a range of games to help the children understand not only what they have learned about a topic, but what level of attainment they have reached.
