At Lift Cottingley, our approach to teaching and learning - The Lift Cottingley Way- ensures every lesson starts strong, engages all learners, and ends with purpose. It’s about consistency, clarity, and care in every classroom.
- 1. Start Well:
Create a calm, organised space where learning can flourish. Use clear routines, positive reinforcement, and inclusive setups that support all learners, including those with SEND. - 2. Input Clearly:
State objectives, connect to prior learning, and share success criteria so pupils know what success looks like. - 3. Teach Purposefully:
Model tasks, check understanding often, and use questioning to deepen thinking. Provide immediate feedback and adapt teaching dynamically - 4. Finish Strong:
Recap key learning, share feedback, and prepare for next steps. Keep classrooms tidy and ready for the next session.
- Alert & engaged: Sit up straight, make eye contact, and show you are attentive.
- Appropriate breaks: Ask for permission for drinks or toilet breaks at suitable times, not during lessons
- Manners: Be part of team STARS and use polite language.
