Warming up -- Back to basics -- Winning them over. |
| Abstract |
In the first programme of a four part series into the underachievement of white girls, John Bayley visits Eltham Green School in south London. With the focus on girls at Key Stage 4, Bayley hears from staff how a large group of bright girls are entering the school with scores at level 5, only to remain at level 5 at the end of Key Stage 3.As the girls begin their GCSE courses, the series sees Bayley offering teachers a range of strategies to help them overcome the morale-sapping, low-level girly disruption which characterises many lessons. In this programme Bayley works with English NQT Sally Jenkins, who though highly effective at basic behaviour and class control finds it difficult to establish a rapport with the girls. Bayley encourages her to adopt a warmer approach, viewing much of the disruption as a search for greater support and encouragement. |
| Abstract |
In the second programme of a four-part investigation into the underachievement of girls, John Bayley gets a dramatic insight into what's going wrong for teachers and students at Eltham Green School in south London. Bayley meets a group of the girls concerned, whose attainment levels have barely improved in their three years at the school. He asks them to think about the ingredients of a good and bad lesson. He also observes and advises deputy head of Science, Catherine Pope, who tends to avoid any kind of confrontation with the girls concerned, fearing the consequences. But Bayley believes she has to master some very basic rules of class control and behaviour management before she's likely to see any improvement. |
| Abstract |
John Bayley continues his investigation into a group of underachieving girls at KS4 at Eltham Green School in south London. So far in his journey Bayley has encountered a number of teachers who find it hard to build relationships with the girls in question. Some accentuate discipline and control at the expense of building trust; others forget the behavior basics through fear of confrontation. But Hannah Johns has it all. Hannah joined the school three years ago as a Teach First recruit. Now she's Head of RE. Hannah feels it's crucial to vary her teaching style, mixing coolness and warmth as required, but using both as central weapons in her armoury, to motivate students and raise achievement. In one lesson she can issue a strict warning and have a chat about the same student's love life. According to Bayley, the cumulative effect of this nasty and nice routine is that she plays a blinder. |
