Pedagogy Connect
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
At Kenwood Academy, our unique ability to forge positive relationships with students and families in the most challenging of circumstances is at the heart of our success. Our staff are committed to an ethos of reflective practice that fosters vibrant professional working and has pedagogy and subject specialism as a central focus.
Consistent approaches to pedagogy and planning connect colleagues and students across subject specialisms and curriculum phases. We follow an evidence-informed 5-step approach: Connect/ Pre-teach / I do / You do / We do which has embedded generative learning and metacognitive principles.
Subject specialism is at the heart of our provision. Passionate and knowledgeable leaders have designed ambitious curricula that make best use of all available evidence to create a generative, ambitious spiral curriculum design that supports our learners to develop into citizens of the future who will secure success and happiness in their: Identity and Independence, Health, Communities and Friendships, Education and Employment.
Pedagogy Connect is a space where we share strengths, develop our knowledge and explore our interest in pedagogy.
“Every teacher needs to improve, not because they are not good enough, but because they can be even better.”
