Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction

[Amber Haven @AmberBHaven]

Hopefully this video helps teachers who are wanting to make Turn & Talks more effective in their classroom.

My students are used to T&Ts so I did skip a step of checking for understanding of my directions before saying “Go!”

Reading education blogs changed my life, so I want to do everything I can to share and amplify recent blogs. Here's a list of some I've really enjoyed, and I'll try and get some suggestions of quality free blogs out regularly.

Please do share and subscribe if you can - writing blogs is an intensive process and authors need encouragement or they will stop!

Claire Stoneman's characteristically beautifully written piece about the small blessings that make teaching worth it: https://t.co/JFwINfjatP

Teach Like a Champion team with some useful tips for observing lessons: https://t.co/WRCzxLF2W5

Lee Donaghy on how the most inclusive way to teach is to be clean, clear and explicit at all points: https://t.co/QgXpQw51Qy

Adam Robbins with a nifty tweak to the way you challenge poor behaviour: https://t.co/Be9gDtlky3

Shaun Allison with a slew of useful strategies for effective lesson management: https://t.co/PJRtiSSjTw

Lee Wheeler speaking my language in arguing that schools don't focus enough on retrieval practice and long term learning: https://t.co/PZRcAY4MOU

I'm posting another blog soon, and you can check out and subscribe to my account here: https://t.co/lxaU5YsSEF

Thank you to @stoneman_claire @Doug_Lemov Lee, @MrARobbins @shaun_allison Lee W (is he on X?) for writing!

Does anyone have any tips or advice for purchasing a visualiser. My current placement school does not use them but I have seen them used previously. Budget is £30-50🤞🏼🤞🏼

We are stacking a new habit - Bookmark Mondays. Over the week (like many I guess) we save lots of posts that we want to return to or explore in more detail. Like this amazing resources from @MrGoodwin23 and @teacherhead which we have come back to, through our bookmarks, and will share as the feature CPD snack on our whole school Monday briefing today.

[Dr. Bryan Pearlman #MaslowBeforeBloom @DrP_Principal]

“Teaching is the hardest job you’ll ever love — one that fills your heart but can also drain your battery. The weekend isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. Rest is how you recharge your empathy, reset your focus, and remind yourself that even ‘good stress’ is still stress. Balance isn’t selfish—it’s how you stay strong enough to keep changing lives.”

[Jamie Clark @XpatEducator]

🕰️ CLASSROOM ROUTINES! Routines free up time for what matters most—learning. This guide summarises key strategies for establishing and automating effective routines to make classrooms predictable and run like clockwork.

I hope everyone got that phone alert at 3pm to remind them that #EducatingYorkshire is on again this evening at 8pm on Channel 4...

I'm very proud of Miss Hardy, Mrs Whitehall, Miss Nurse, Casey-Lee and Tremaine for sharing their stories.

Be nice. Work hard.

Building self-awareness can boost motivation, learning and wellbeing. Here’s how to teach it: https://t.co/3cxjvj2hfq

[SoL in the Wild @SoLInTheWild]

🚨KOs are great for teachers too! I decided to take the knowledge organizer structure I use for students and use it to create KOs for my SoL/CogSci PLC book study this year. Our focus is on Rosenshine’s principles and we will read @teacherhead “Rosenshine’s Principles in Action.”

[Mr C @MrJC_23]

@unisontheunion can I check who I am best getting in contact with to arrange for my membership to end? I have submitted an query nearly two weeks ago and emailed the membership services email for my region last week and no response from either.

[Kate Jones @KateJones_teach]

Making Every Lesson Count by Shaun Allison & Andy Tharby is without a doubt, a brilliant teaching & learning book. It's one I revisit & regularly recommend to others. Getting to the heart of expert teaching in every classroom! 👏

[Mr C @MrJC_23]

@PearsonEdexcel Can trainee teachers join this too?

Can I also check if trainee teachers sign up for the online courses? (I’m considering the A Level Psychology: Maths/Statistics for A Level Psychology and GCSE Psychology for Non-Specialist Teachers)
