Sharing Good Practice

From Michelle Fielding- Nurture Teacher 

What: WWW, EBI and TARGET

In Nurture we use What Went Well (WWW),Even Better If(EBI) and set a weekly target in the last lesson of the week.

The pupils are to reflect on the week and identify something that has gone well for them, and how they will be able to maintain it in the future.

We then look at EBI and reflect on what they could have improved on in the week, and how they could have done something differently.

From our initial reflection through WWW and EBI the students then set a target for the week. The pupils reflect on this daily using the sheet below. This allows pupils to monitor what has gone well for them and what they want to improve on in the future (Self-reflection).
 

With: This particular strategy has been in place since November with the Nurture pupils; however, it could be easily managed in Form time or in individual subject areas.

How: We have the following three titles on the board and have three clear postit colours one for each stage of the process. The pupils write there’s down and add it to the board in the class. Their target stays there for the week as a constant reminder. The pupils want to achieve their target and not only that; it also allows pupils to achieve their full potential through self-reflection.

Impact: This strategy has been used since November and has made a positive impact on the pupils not only in Nurture but in the wider school community. The pupils think about their target regularly and it helps them improve their learning and behaviour around school. As the pupils achieve their target they are rewarded with an extra house point plus a small treat.
