How Lumici Slate Enables Teaching School Alliances to Support Others and Become Sustainable
Schools applying to join the teaching school club of over 800, need to demonstrate their capacity to support others and, once accepted, that they are sustainable. With a teaching school’s core funding decreasing each year, it is important they spend it wisely and, in doing so, demonstrate value for money.
Developed by a teacher to solve the problem of lesson planning and teacher collaboration, Lumici Slate is cost effective online lesson planning software that supports many of the expectations of the Big Six. Built to be easy to use and not need any training, Lumici is perfect for supporting trainees and staff across different schools. Everything teachers need to plan individually and collaboratively is included and they can easily adapt schemes of work from previous years or other teachers to meet the needs of their own classes.
With collaboration at its core, Lumici builds capacity and makes mentoring and quality assurance easier. Middle and system leaders can monitor and support teacher progress and understanding and focus in on subject area priorities, even across schools. Trainee and newly qualified teachers can more easily work together across schools with peers and system leaders, aiding their development into the profession.
Case study
Lumici Supports College’s Initial Teacher Training (ITT) Course
Trialling Lumici with its ITT group, Chesterfield College saw an 80% increase in trainee engagement in only three months. Through Lumici, learners set-up their own self-study groups and are submitting assignments on time because they have easy access to the resources they need. The course tutor is more involved and can easily track learner progress. The head of curriculum and quality manager use Lumici to quality assure the lesson content.
More about Lumici Slate
Lumici Slate includes everything teachers need to plan their lessons which they can choose to deliver online or face-to-face. Once they are planned, schemes of work and all resources are held centrally for others to access and use. If the lesson is delivered online, the teacher, and their mentors, accesses live analytics of learner understanding and their journey through the lesson, from this they can adapt future lessons.
