@MCPAcademy has benefited so much since the implementation of @Steplab_co as the tool that allows us to drive professional development.

If you’re in the South West, don’t miss this @Steplab_co Instructional Coaching Intensive hosted by us at the @TedWraggTrust! A super convenient location, brilliant hosts (if I do say so myself!) and most importantly, an exceptional day of Professional Development for coaches. 👊

Very excitingly, the @ReachFND is launching a new partnership for schools who’d like to dig into belonging and mattering.

It will be six months, with monthly webinars, on theory into practice. Led by Mohamed Abdallah and me.

Interested?

Wow!! This episode is absolutely BRILLIANT!!! Can’t believe I’ve only just stumbled upon its wisdom! So inspiring, real and honest about the challenges of school improvement. I got so much from this about coaching in the context of Learning and Teaching. @AlexEvans3 @ollie_lovell

[Ms. Sam @SciInTheMaking]

Cognitive Load Theory gets plenty of attention on EduTwitter (which is great!), but Ausubel’s Assimilation Theory rarely gets mentioned. I think it’s just as important. 🧵

*New post!* Choral response & 'I Say You Say' are two techniques I use with high frequency during my explanations. Although they seem simple, there is a lot of thinking behind them.

What is Cognitive Load Theory (CLT)?

[Pritesh Raichura @Mr_Raichura]

Direct instruction is joyful & leads pupils to success. Here is a *clip* where I use high frequency & high participation questioning in 3 phases:
1. Check for listening
2. Rehearsal
3. Check for understanding
Established routines: all hands up, turn & talk, SLANT & ruler reading
