This sounds awesome @olicav Gutted I can’t be in Edinburgh but I’d love to see your session on this if you’re able to share any key ideas afterwards👌

If as @DanWillingham explained in @teacherhead & @Emma_Turner75's Mind The Gap podcast last week, causal thinking is at the heart of effective teaching, learn more at my The Professional Mind presentation in Edinburgh.

[Florence Weir @FlorenceWeir]

What a joy! Loved the inevitable breadth vs depth conundrum & having the confidence to choose depth. And the reminders why learning is SO effortful- we only remember what we think about & what we think about is not easy to control!Thanks @DTWillingham @teacherhead @Emma_Turner75

[Tom Sherrington @teacherhead]

Memory Is the Residue of Thought: @DTWillingham Mind the Gap, Ep.10... https://t.co/8wILmQ8zFQ via @YouTube This is brilliant - @Emma_Turner75 loved this conversation.. you will too!

[Florence Weir @FlorenceWeir]

So relevant & accessible. My fav insight is around culture and the whole staff, collective endeavour to solve shared problems. We’re all being coached because we’re all professional teachers and/or leaders of T&L, striving to improve so that our pupils can learn more successfully

[oliver caviglioli @olivercavi]

Listen to Tom, aka @teacherhead, talk about the Coaching WalkThrus book. Count the number of insights and solutions that'll resonate with you.

@MattTeachCoach session at #TDaPECymru today was a seriously impressive mix of passion and crystal clarity on Team PD. If you get the chance to hear him speak on the subject, take it.

[Tom Sherrington @teacherhead]

So many new members and renewals. Very exciting! Welcome to @WALKTHRUs_5 world!

[Florence Weir @FlorenceWeir]

A phenomenal book and resource. Practical, accessible and so rich in detail, supporting teachers and leaders to build a meaningful and sustainable culture of improvement. Thank you 🙏 @MattTeachCoach @olicav @WALKTHRUs_5

[Tom Sherrington @teacherhead]

“A masterpiece”. Out now. You’ll love it.

[Florence Weir @FlorenceWeir]

Amazing! Cannot wait to see it! Huge congrats 🤩🤩

[Lucy Kelly @lucy_k_kelly]

This is so exciting. I know it’s going to be amazing! What a team 🔥

[Florence Weir @FlorenceWeir]

@PearceMrs Absolutely!Your blog was SO useful too. You make things so relatable to PD & improving teachers’ practice. Would love your take on how you define ‘responsive teaching’. You mentioned it when you spoke of ‘adapting during the lesson’ - but do you prefer to avoid using both terms?

[Florence Weir @FlorenceWeir]

This was absolutely BRILLIANT! Thanks @PearceMrs 👌👌 so clear, succinct & I loved the forensic look at the 3 stages of adaptive teaching- but through the lens of modelling, explaining and feedback. ‘Cognitively active’ is definitely the phrase I have been looking for this week!

[Florence Weir @FlorenceWeir]

Thanks @SCottinghatt @mradamkohlbeck & @MrChrisPassey this is BRILLIANT! Love the cognitive vs behavioural causes & the notion of mitigating transience. Q: WHAT IF the teacher’s goal isn’t clear because they are so focused on/distracted by ‘getting through the curriculum content’

@SCottinghatt 👌

[Florence Weir @FlorenceWeir]

Really looking forward to this with @SCottinghatt The notion of mental models and teacher decision making is absolutely fascinating 👌

[Sarah Cottinghatt @SCottinghatt]

5/ Great coaches develop teachers' mental models

Coaching should harness what we know about mental models to develop teachers' decision making.

https://t.co/pEOhLDm9N8

[Florence Weir @FlorenceWeir]

@SCottinghatt Me too! Thanks for this fantastic thread. ‘Adaptive expertise’ makes so much sense when you consider the cognitive load on teachers when they are making tons of ‘in-the-moment’ decisions about which strategies will best support learning, especially for our most vulnerable groups

[Florence Weir @FlorenceWeir]

A fantastic day launching @WALKTHRUs_5 and working with the great team @Wordsworthsch23 and the fab @MattTeachCoach - really looking forward to day 2 in November. 👌

[Matt Stone @MattTeachCoach]

@FlorenceWeir and I had a great day with the team at @Wordsworthsch23 today kickstarting their @WALKTHRUs_5 implementation project. Exciting times ahead! 🙌

[Florence Weir @FlorenceWeir]

An absolutely fantastic start to our teaching and learning CPD across all our schools @initiolearning today with an insightful session from @SCottinghatt on Meaningful Learning. Huge thanks Sarah, it was so useful hearing these key messages with such relevant curriculum examples

[Florence Weir @FlorenceWeir]

Amazing achievement - I’ve loved listening to them. Thoroughly recommend signing up to the T&L spotlight, thank you, @PearceMrs and @BradleyKBusch - your delivery is so informative & accessible for leaders of T&L and class teachers. Being both, I get so much from your sessions 👌

[Jade Pearce @PearceMrs]

By October, @BradleyKBusch and I will have covered 100 recent educational studies in the T&L Spotlight, all summarised with clear takeaways for teaching 🤓🤓📚📚🧠🧠

[Florence Weir @FlorenceWeir]

@SinghAmarbeerG Yes, it’s brilliant. Incredible what you have fit into just 66 pages! 👌
Flo😊

[Florence Weir @FlorenceWeir]

Such a cracking set of accessible evidence-informed texts. Just started, ‘Strengthening the student toolbox’ by @SinghAmarbeerG and am immediately blown away by its clarity and relevance- the classroom examples are brilliant- I would thoroughly recommend this read. 🙏 thank you!
