Getting it Right with Responsive Teaching: KS1

Featuring Isabella Wallace.

Designed for KS1 teachers, teaching assistants and school leaders, this one-day session will explore responsive teaching in action - focusing on how to assess learning in real time, interpret pupil responses, and adapt teaching to maximise impact. It will combine practical strategies with evidence-informed approaches to support effective delivery of day-to-day classroom practice.

Featuring keynote speaker Isabella Wallace, award-winning author of Pimp Your Lesson! and Talk-Less Teaching, alongside George Hawkins (Senior Improvement Adviser - The Education People), delegates will hear fresh insights on how to improve learning through formative assessment and delve into the effective use of hinge questions.

Topics to be covered include:

• assessing learning in the moment to inform teaching
• identifying and addressing misconceptions early
• using hinge questions effectively to check understanding
• adapting teaching (‘the pivot’) to maximise learning in real time
• embedding formative assessment into everyday practice.
