How to Improve the Provision of Learning Opportunities: Some Examples

Improve children's learning at home with parents by:

• setting and marking homework

• providing an update of new curricular targets on a half-termly basis

• holding two parents’ evenings with information about targets and levels

• running literacy and numeracy workshops

• encouraging family learning

• implementing a termly homework challenge

• handing out multiplication booklets.

Improve children's learning through their environment by using:

• curricular boards

• interactive displays on corridors

• “something I’ve learned this week” posters

• books which are evident in the classrooms

• classrooms which support independent learning

• artefacts and other resources to stimulate discussion.
