Ken Jones delivered an informative lecture about PISA (Programme for International Students), SEF (School Effectiveness Framework) and PLC (Professional Learning Communities).
I shall talk about some of the information Ken talked about as well as some background research into the topics which he discussed.
The Directorate for Education states that ‘PISA is an internationally standardised assessment which was developed by participating schools and administered to 15 year olds in schools.’ Ken touched on effectiveness of education systems from different countries from years 2006 and 2010 and stated improvements which needed to be taken place in the UK to allow education to become better.
Ken also talked about School Effectiveness Framework (SEF) which aims to develop better learning outcomes for children and young people in Wales.
Directorate for Education states that the Professional Learning Communities (PLC) promotes and sustains the learning levels of professionals in schools and learning communities and environments.
