Good thread of book recommendations for effective learning and teaching backed by science 👇

[A Levin @MrALevin]

@teacherhead @DavidDidau @DTWillingham I am wanting to introduce staff to more effective learning methods (cognitive science et al). Which book would you gentleman recommend giving to staff to read over a summer holiday as an introduction?

When you hear a student shout your name after travelling around the world for a relaxing holiday…

One change made this year was how we review classwork. With a focus on reducing workload/increasing impact we gave the ‘Classwork Check Up’ sheet a run. Teacher ticks the relevant statements in each section. Whole class feedback on spelling/wider misconceptions. #historyteacher

Nice little do now task. Two questions. Each must be answered in one word, in one sentence and in one paragraph

[Dr Dan Jones @Hookean1]

This is nice and might be useful for Astronomy lessons in GCSE Physics https://t.co/jqSmYNQdn1

DfE has published 2023 ITT targets: expects to need more trainees in subjects that are already struggling to recruit, further compounding teacher supply challenge

Our updated forecast suggests LESS THAN HALF of required secondary trainees will be recruited this year 😲🧵

[Matthew Burke @Fiosaigs]

@MrRobHistory Oh no, feel better soon Derrick!

Anyone done this in the US? Very interesting... always fascinating to hear what @Mr_Raichura is doing!

A-Level Physics teachers. If you don't have all the electron tubes or they are broken, this site might be very useful. You can do most of the expts on it. Could also be useful for prep/homework 🙂https://t.co/xjtYoj4lZR

[Helen Reynolds MBE @helenrey]

Wow. Fascinating! Thanks @mrmalv!!
(This was in connection with squishy circuits:

The world’s countries have not contributed equally to the climate crisis—and this disparity can be seen in stark clarity by breaking down their carbon budgets. https://t.co/XwxSB2GCqN

[Evidence Based Education @EvidenceInEdu]

We're learning of so many schools that are using the Model for Great Teaching to articulate great teaching practice.

A shared common language and framework is so helpful in supporting self-reflection, personal development & communities of practice.

[Matthew Burke @Fiosaigs]

@cossettej That's amazing Joe, great activity!

[Joe Cossette @cossettej]

Starting work on updating the "Plotting the Stars" activity to version 3.0! ✨

Turns out basically all of the values and colors from the original version that I modified didn't match the actual stellar data. Time for a Wikipedia deep dive!!
