@m_chiles Positive framing always. Say what you want not what you don't want. Reduces cognitive load and tells them what they need to do not what they shouldn't be doing. If it's a rule, then sanction. "Tom we don't wear our coats in the building, that's a X"
Tears man, I actually can’t be asked anymore.
2 of the same incidents in 2 weeks with 2 completely different outcomes.
Arsenal denied a clear penalty, the reffing in the country STINKS ❌
Banning mobile phones in Dutch secondary schools has positive impact:
➡️ 75 % observe better concentration
➡️ 59 % note a more positive social atmosphere
➡️ 28 % see enhanced academic performance.
➡️ special educational settings saw benefits too
Primary schools, which already had low phone use, reported modest benefits, 23 % noticed improved pupil wellbeing and classroom climate, with minimal enforcement issues
However, nearly half cite increased workload for policy enforcement, and some report rises in disruptive behaviour.

✍️✍️ New blog from me - The first in a long time and one of three in a series on Adaptive Teaching. This one looks at what adaptive teaching is and what this might look like during explanations and modelling. ✍️✍️ https://t.co/jjKFHL4q7f
ISYS gave a high ratio of engagement and reinforced the culture in the room.
T&T allowed for the reinforcing of key terminology and then rehearsing again and again with key language drilled in.
Definitely be embedding this process in my practice.
Today I used 'I say you say' with the key word "travelling" (in 🏀), followed by explaining the definition, Turn and Talk to get students to rehearse definition, feedback from sample, reintroduce key words "flow" and "more than two steps", rehearse again
*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.

As a SENDCO, you need to know what is going on in class. You need to make sure students are receiving quality-first teaching. You need to be able to diagnose where this isn’t happening so you can support teachers to develop their practice.
