We need the biggest listen. We're gonna listen bigly. It's gonna be the greatest listen. They never saw such a listen, everyone said the same thing, such a big listen

[Dr Amy Smith @amy_smith117]

I've been rather quiet on here for a while... and I can finally reveal why!

Why pre-order?
- scene by scene analysis and lessons activities
- focus on oracy, including guidance for reading scenes in class
- guidance for using film clips in lessons to enhance analysis

@TheTeacherWins Happy New Year to you and yours!

@JRedders81 Does this have potential for PP?

***1% BETTER***

Improving attendance is a key focus for all schools right now.

For students in the 90–95% attendance range, we’ve launched our “1% Better” strategy. Each identified student receives a card and is paired with a key adult in the school.

Students get their card signed for every consecutive day they attend, and after 12 days they earn a prize 😊

Do we have a handbook like the one in this thread at TMS, @MrMPritchard ? I’m thinking about what I should see during Learning Walks with ASp.

***TEACHING AND LEARNING***

Thread 🧵

To improve the use of teaching and learning techniques in the classroom we need to define them “this is how we do it here” and make it common practice across the school.

When implementing T&L techniques their success relies on this clarity and creating opportunities for teachers to deliberately practice.

What have we done @LHS_HighSchool?

STEP 1

We have identified 10 core T&L techniques.

@DoWise You are a godsend. Thank you!

@eyemenakis @LeeBraganza I love this!

@Mr_H1978 I’ve just finished Poverty Safari. It’s made me think much more deeply about the Pupil Premium and why we need to engage families not just students.

This: “…advocates of cognitive load theory do not think it is ‘a good idea to reduce cognitive load’. It’s about optimising load and that can mean increasing it.”

[Greg Ashman @greg_ashman]

Motivated critics of cognitive load theory have been dealt a new blow. One of their favourite arguments has been answered by new research. ⬇️

'How Scientific Is Cognitive Load Theory Research Compared to the Rest of Educational Psychology?' If we're talking about experimental design then pretty solid. https://t.co/MoWeBx4TDL

I want to tell you something cool about our school:

For a number of years, @totteridgeacad was struggling, and we were heavily undersubscribed. Alongside that, despite low numbers overall, we had a large % of pupil premium (over 50% in some year groups).

Just watched this and I think that it would be impossible to fail in this classroom.
