Magpie Market Inspires Teachers Across NCG
Colleagues from across NCG came together at Lewisham College for the Magpie Market, an engaging and collaborative professional development event, designed to showcase and share effective teaching practice.
Now in its second year, the event was led by Lewisham College staff, as well as colleagues undertaking their Level 5 Teaching Apprenticeship, who hosted a series of interactive ‘market stalls’ to share ideas, strategies and resources with colleagues.
Staff from Lewisham were joined by visiting colleagues from Southwark College and Kidderminster College, highlighting the strength of collaboration across the Group and bringing the One NCG ethos to life.
Sharing ideas and inspiring practice
The Magpie Market was made up of 16 stalls offering short demonstrations of teaching techniques or approaches that have proven successful in the classroom. The stalls were themed around equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging, and were linked to NCG’s TLA Hub standards.
Across the afternoon, attendees were able to explore the market at their own pace, engaging with colleagues, asking questions and taking away practical ideas to support their own teaching.
The format created a vibrant and informal learning environment, encouraging open discussion and the exchange of ideas across curriculum areas and campuses.
The event reflected NCG’s commitment to collaboration and continuous improvement, providing a valuable opportunity for colleagues from different colleges to connect, share expertise and learn from one another.
Brooke Parkinson, Teaching, Learning and Development Manager at Lewisham College, who helped organise the event said: “This event is an opportunity for teachers and apprentices to showcase some of the amazing things they do and share the resources they use with their colleagues. For everyone attending, it’s an opportunity to talk about and share good practice and good ideas. My hope for the event is that everyone here learns one new thing today from a colleague.”
