Great example of quality teaching @Mr_Raichura

[Pritesh Raichura @Mr_Raichura]

Direct instruction is joyful & leads pupils to success. Here is a *clip* where I use high frequency & high participation questioning in 3 phases:
1. Check for listening
2. Rehearsal
3. Check for understanding
Established routines: all hands up, turn & talk, SLANT & ruler reading

[MissParr @MissParr96]

Recapping curriculum knowledge and how to maximise line management conversations with subject leaders.
Highly recommended read for those who line manage non-specialist subjects and for those who want to reflect on their own curriculum breadth.

Year 7 Extended Writing

Planning sheet for structure, extended writing, highlight application, model answer then improve their work.

Reminding Y7 of application, point and develop and getting them to identify this in their own work has rapidly increased the quality 🗺️

[MissParr @MissParr96]

Well worth a read for all Geography teachers. Pleased to see an 80% growth in GCSE cohort, increase in minority groups studying it and Alevel growth 🥳

Some great ideas from the @The_GA and hopefully the subjects status will continue to rise 🗺️

Excited to have a contribution included in @KateJones_teach new offering. ☺️ Here, I give a step-by-step description of how I live model under a visualiser to guide student practice. If you want to read all of it, you’ll need to buy the book! 📕

Using some of these as CPD for the department 🌏 Thank you @kate_stockings

[Kate Stockings @kate_stockings]

Each Monday I send a weekly bulletin to every geographer in our Trust sharing my ‘Top 3 Geography Finds’ for the week. This week someone asked for an archive to find previous resources more easily & voila. Thank you to everyone who shares ideas & RTs to help this magpie!👩🏻‍💻🌍

[British Antarctic Survey 🐧 @BAS_News]

Halley Research Station is open for business!

Starting the new #Antarctic summer season off in style, the occasion was marked by the raising of the flag - an honour traditionally bestowed on the youngest member of the station.

And what gloriously sunny weather for the job too☀️

🌍 Earth’s natural carbon sinks are vital for mitigating #ClimateChange.

🌱Did you know soil holds more carbon than you think? Understanding carbon storage in ecosystems is essential for advancing climate action and conservation.

Morning reads on a cold Autumnal Saturday 🍁 📖 @CharteredColl @StephenRCovey

[MissParr @MissParr96]

The floods in Valencia are a great yet sad example of the idea around “hazards being man made.”
How much of this is down to urbanisation, population increase and government investment? Or is it purely a natural occurrence?

[Volcaholic 🌋 @volcaholic1]
