Day 2 - India Trip. Today we visited 1 of the NGOs the charity supports. CARE is an amazing service, helping children in the poorest communities, including sponsoring them through higher ed - an opportunity they would otherwise not have. #TENCindia2024 @saltoftheearthcharity
Great CPD session this morning @Huxlow looking at the powerful knowledge teachers must utilise to support all of our students effectively #go4schools#T4L
I had the pleasure of watching @KateJones_teach at @researchEDDur deliver a session about retrieval practice myths. Here is a summary I created of her insights. PDF here https://t.co/o8AA8v0sZT

Questions on the left, their answers on the right. Next stage is to get them to write their own questions in a blank grid then answer them. #historyteacher
The simplest tasks can make for excellent retrieval practice. This game of Noughts and Crosses was very well received and appealed to their competitive nature. Students liked being asked to retrieve knowledge from their previous unit.
Fantastic @TLT_Learning T4L training sessions today with colleagues from @Huxlow and @rushden_academy, focussing on ‘Autonomy and cognitive endurance’, ‘Checking for understanding’ and ‘Quality first Teaching’ #collaboration
