All about the fantastic Teaching and Learning at Astley Cooper School.

Pupils' ability to recall learning at a later date, can be improved by sharing with pupils the retrieval cue.

This is the process of showing pupils how learning is connected, or making the expert schema explicit.

Reminding ourselves of the great work @HYWEL_ROBERTS did with us on Imagineering!

I really like this idea from @MrRobHistory! I’m going to try it with some of my students in English for the literature texts. Great to see how one idea can be utilised across different subjects. Thanks, Derrick! @Team_English1

@Headteacherchat Don’t put too many “tasks” in

[Impact @ImpactWales]

Are pupils busy or thinking?

Not all activities that pupils are engaged in, are engaging their brains. Use Craik & Lockhart's 6 types of learning tasks to deepen pupils' learning.

My first ever published article is in this quarter’s @GreatWarGroup Salient Points. A pleasure to write about my FWW hero Ivor Maxse, his background, & record as a division & corps commander. Cpl Jones gets a mention too.

Representing your understanding of a text through illustration or visuals not only creates a mental model but also deepens the learning by providing both visual and linguistic connections.

The questions we all need to ask ourselves every now and then - part of a quiz my Y8s did to decide if they were Cavaliers or Roundheads (made by the brilliant Miss Piper). Right up @James1940 strasse, and @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook no doubt

[Dylan Wiliam @dylanwiliam]

Students find taking practice tests more stressful than restudying to-be-learned material, but they learn more, so we need to find ways of making such tests less stressful, such as making them ungraded, allowing multiple attempts, and gamification: https://t.co/uRXAL1X4tB

Super helpful this, from Alex. It’s not ‘just good teaching’ that addresses educational disadvantage. It’s super high quality personal development too. Particularly for those that have limited social capital.

[Paul Dix @pauldixtweets]

Nurture isn’t a room, restorative isn’t just a set of questions, kindness isn’t weakness and exclusion isn’t a behaviour strategy

Tonight’s history club: Salem Witch Trials-what really happened?Best part is giving them all a note&tell them that one has a cross on it,making that one a witch.They must keep it secret, but they also need to work out who is the witch.Chaos follows.There is no witch card. Classic

The next 2-3 weeks are the most challenging of the year. Behaviour is difficult and families preparing for a Christmas where there is less to go round. Anxiety is often expressed as anger. Boundaries must remain clear and consistent whilst accepting the reality of many lives

[Jack Bowsher - Thunder Run: Meiktila 1945 @HistoryBowsh]

Life comes at your fast sometimes & the last few weeks has been crazy on so many levels. So I am delighted to announce my book, Forgotten Armour: Tank Warfare in Burma will be published next summer. Thank you @chiselbury & the @WeHaveWaysPod community who have made this possible!
