Cognitive overload is a major challenge for learners. 😫 Tackle it using the concept of the Expertise Reversal Effect and a 3-stage approach to gradually remove the scaffolding of support.

@__codexterous Some teachers believe we shouldn’t scaffold the writing process by teaching structures that help students write especially under stress because these can produce ‘formulaic’ essays. I’m with you - scaffold, structure and repeat until they’ve got it. Thanks Andy

@Erik_Youngman You have ‘plan and organise’ - how about keep your space, materials, desk, classroom clean and organised. I fully believe this impacts how productive and in control a person feels at work

These infographics are so good for teacher retrieval practice! So easy to forget the solid principles of T+L.

[Jade Pearce @PearceMrs]

Really enjoying creating materials to support the implementation of evidence-informed T&L - guidance materials, best practice descriptors, resources to help schools make the principles context specific, CPD materials and reading lists. 🤓🤓

With new printing and cursive curriculum expectations, there are lots of tweets and news articles decrying this as a return to an old school, useless practice. Explicit instruction in handwriting, though, remains a critical part of effective literacy instruction even now.
