Subject leadership in primary schools supported by Blippit Boards

We've been able to keep Blippit Boards simple. We believe in removing barriers to learning and this extends to how easily teachers can pick up and benefit from Blippit.

As a subject leader, getting a view of what's happening in the curriculum is full of challenges. Blippit connects teachers in your school together so that when they share an example of what's happening in any subject, it's instantly accessible to colleagues. As a leader, Blippit removes the extra time and motion commonly associated with gathering, collating and understanding samples from books. Instead the time is returned to leaders for them to reflect and decide what to do based on what they see coming in.

What's in a board?

A 'board' can contain videos, photos, sound, text and importantly 'tags'. Our approach is to make it easy for teachers to get to the point quickly and make the most of what they already have (e.g. media) to understand what their subject looks like across school.

Top 3 uses of Blippit^® Boards for Subject Leaders

1. using evidence to determine how effectively subject priorities are being communicated
2. real-time reporting used to collate evidence of specific subject foci
3. feedback given to colleagues via dashboard reports on strengths and areas for development

Mainstreaming and monitoring your subject priorities

• asking a colleague who is strong in your subject to share some boards with a specific focus is ideal for modelling what you've been looking for to share with colleagues
• have conversations about teacher assessment using boards tagged specifically with that tag category
• Monitor and compare key stages and year groups over time
• share your priorities with visiting governors ensuring a board is created that reflects the information shared and questions asked

A dashboard view

Nothing happens in a bubble at school!

The Blippit Boards dashboard crunches all subject tags added by teachers to reveal the big picture. With intuitive and simple filtering, teachers can dig into the totality of what has been collected. There's no need to be data specialist or IT expert with Blippit. Accessibility is a top priority. Subject leaders can get unlimited reports (Word or PDF) and charts out of the dashboard too.

Imagine seeing a dimension of your subject graphed for you, e.g. 'money' in maths. Then imagine filtering by a specific year group then clicking a chart segment to see what 'money' actually looks like in that class. Follow-up with a 'money' report in two clicks where you can add 'strengths and areas for development' comments. So efficient!
