How do you get kids to independent practice?

First is teach them properly. The details matter there.

But, after, Denarius has kids think, tell their partner, jot down conclusions, and then cold calls with intentionality - all before proceeding to IP.

Nine months ago I quit my job with no plan. I hit 108kg, felt broken, and could barely shuffle through Couch to 5k. Today I weigh 90kg, run parkrun in 26 mins, have a book coming out, two novels drafted, and a half marathon ahead. Rock bottom was the launchpad.

Every time I hear someone say that ‘building relationships is how we get children to behave’ I’m amazed how often they then don’t define what
A) they mean by a relationship
B) how to actually build this mysterious thing.
This leads to multiple errors, eg trying to get kids to ‘like’ you and so on.

Part of the problem is that a lot of research into this appears to be dependent on correlation, not causation. Typically you see great behaviour and good relationships together, so people assume the latter causes the former.

But a good relationship is the outcome of good behaviour management, not the other way around. It’s a product, not a cause.

Why? Because a ‘relationship’ is simply a description of two things- How two or more people typically
1. Behave and
2. Value one another.

So if you want to ‘build a relationship’ you teach students how to act with one another, with you, with school peers, and so one. Simultaneously you teach them that they matter to you, and that their safety and success matters.

These things are far more important than ‘do you know what football team they support?’ You’re not their mate. The relationship you want- and they need- is adult to child, student to teacher. Demonstrated high regard AND standards.

Oh, one more major thing: boundaries. Students need to know there are limits of acceptable conduct, with penalties for crossing them. Any discussion about behaviour, or school behaviour system, that doesn’t have these, will eventually be pointless. No community survives without them, so why should classrooms and schools be different?

“Syntax’s role is critical as it explicitly conveys information about how the word meanings should be integrated into a unit of meaning so that the reader does not have to infer who did what to whom.” @DyslexiaIDA , Perpsectives, Spring 2025, p.30.

SORticle #24: Syntax Teaching: What Teachers are Asking

I spent a great deal of time last week teaching syntax and the rules of sentence structures to teacher candidates @VIUniversity .

Thanks to this article, as well as the support of a wonderful SLP, teachers walked away with a better understanding of what syntax is, why it’s important, and how to teach it!! #SoRticle

A classroom grouping system that blends structure with flexibility: less cognitive load for logistics, more working memory freed for the actual thinking.

Day 1: Taught students (approx 130 5th-8th graders) how to use mini-white boards today. Lots of practice, lots of purposeful questioning, lots of feedback.

[Helen Reynolds MBE @helenrey]

I admit, when I first picked up @GTavernetti 's book I skimmed it &put it down. Then some comments on it's usefulness sent me back -SO GLAD!

Why? It's the WHOLE lesson not one or a collection of techniques which moved my thinking forward, BRILLIANT.

Thank you Helen. Your opinion means a lot to me.

Australia has a maths problem, and it starts in primary school.

The good news is, there are practical steps principals and teachers can take to turn this around.

Our new guide by @hunter_jordana @Amy_L_Haywood Daniel Petrie & @NickJParkinson shows how. https://t.co/conzcfLcEb

@BBCWorld URGENT! Four people potentially affiliated with Hizmet are still in custody after being kidnapped in Kenya. They must be found and released before they can be taken to Turkey, where they are likely to face torture and jail for no crime at all.

Being able to scale up, pan out and see the bigger idea is key to a conceptual grasp, but students need a structure for thinking about this first, then writing it.
'In the same way as' is a thinking structure and a writing structure.
I hope this helps!

It works for transactional writing too
Writing shares commonalties; once you’ve got the structure you can manipulate it
