@HeyMissSmith This sounds like @LetsThinkForum which I’m currently doing with the whole of our Year 8 cohort. It takes a little while to get students used to it but it’s good.

Great news

CASE is coming back to the Tees Valley!

Carmel College in Darlington have been successful in gaining a Strategic School Improvement Fund grant to support science in 12 schools from Darlington to Middlesbrough.

The project is led by David Bailey with Alan Edmiston

@TeachEnglishLit @Team_English1 @EnglishWales @Xris32 @LiteracyHive @EngMediaCentre @amy_smith117 We do a wide range of war poetry with year 8, some William Carlos Williams, I like The Witch by Elizabeth Coleridge for the gothic, @LetsThinkForum have some great ones in their lessons including some Shakespearean sonnets

I’m a huge advocate. I’ve just done a lesson comparing Dorothy and William Wordsworth’s writing and the discussion was so rich. They’re able to bridge seamlessly with Romanticism and Frankenstein too so it enriches our main curriculum

[Myfanwy Edwards @Miff__]

These ss have done LTE for 4 years now and *think* so hard seeing the value in discussion and debate. It’s so well structured & CPD + experience has given me lots of little ways to ensure whole class participation in an organic (seeming) equitable way.

@think_talk_org @DanWuori The ability to calibrate the level of challenge comes in many ways from the objectively based Cognitive Readiness and Demand Theory. https://t.co/lAqzZ1jm1l

Very pleased to be making 3 presentations at Practical Pedagogies at St. George's British International School Cologne https://t.co/iI4ZG2zSMM

How to develop Exploratory Talk

How Epistemic Inquiry can help plan a science curriculum.

How to get to know how your students think

[Alex Black @alexbclearning]

@MrAleoSays @rodjnaquin @mikefnw75 Also a year after the intervention we had sustained and far transferred effects on the ACER ISA assessment. Same psychometrics as PISA. see https://t.co/3o0mkEISwl

[Alex Black @alexbclearning]

@MrAleoSays @rodjnaquin @mikefnw75 Michael and I did a small scale quasi experimental trial N=57. We got large effect size in Piagetian test scores compared to original CSMS data very large N.

@alexbclearning @rodjnaquin WHAT?! Have you been hiding this, Rod? How did I not know this was a thing? Thanks for sharing, Alex.

[Alex Black @alexbclearning]

These tools allowed objective measurement of the cognitive readiness students bring to their learning and the demand of key scientific objectives. Thus enabling superb planning of learning.

[Alex Black @alexbclearning]

Two of the most important products of the Cognitive Acceleration through Science Education intervention were the Science Reasoning Tasks (SRT) https://t.co/TPvC2GQeBF

and The Curriculum Analysis Taxonomy (CAT).

Looking forward to presenting about

"How to get to know how your students think" at MITA https://t.co/hqIY1GaNyD

[Let's Think @LetsThinkForum]

Thanks to Dr. Gary Ackerman @GaryAckermanPhD for the link to this source. It very much describes how successful and challenging group discussion are in Cognitive Acceleration programmes

[Let's Think @LetsThinkForum]

Our programmes grew out of the applied Cognitive Readiness and Demand Theory developed by Shayer and Adey in the decades between 1970s and 2000. The working memory research of people like Juan Pascual-Leone, Robbie Case, and Andreas Demetriou
