Check. Adapt.
A useful resource for teachers shared by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF)
Many misunderstand, so pause and fix.
Some are unsure, so adapt support.
Most understand, so extend and support.
Teachers make so many decisions each day, this resource offers helpful advice about what to do & when informed by evidence captured in a lesson.
Great to be back working at George Heriot’s School, Edinburgh, for part 2 of our Power Up Your Pedagogy series.
This morning’s session focused on feedback, exploring key messages from this sketchnote summary👇 (taken from the book, Power Up Your Pedagogy: https://t.co/ooJBiGLeNf)

I’ve just made this to help students with AQA Lang, P1, Q3 & to stop them from over complicating their answers. Will trial next week. It might work, it might not but it’s worth experimenting to find out! Help yourselves to the sheet/format. @Team_English1 https://t.co/uo3ImsfNk3
Another one-pager aimed at KS3, created in the same style as previously used, focusing on writers perspectives, attitudes and ideas. Feedback very much invited, and thank you in advance. https://t.co/czKTIYwAb4
@warwickmansell I’ve just had such a letter. My son had chickenpox which meant he missed a week before Christmas and then a flu virus recently which wiped out half of his class. He had 100% attendance the year before and it wasn’t even acknowledged.
@dd77 Here’s a link to a huge bank of retrieval practice resources I have made and shared over the years, organised into sub-folders for
✅ An Inspector Calls
✅ Macbeth
✅ A Christmas Carol
✅ P & C poetry
✅ L & R poetry
Help yourself 😊 #teamenglish

Student loans are becoming a headline area of interest recently. As a doctor who trained and is now working in the UK, I thought I would share my situation.

David Bowie picked Annie Lennox to perform Under Pressure with him at the '92 Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. This rehearsal is AMAZING. Bowie’s expression alone is PRICELESS. What other famous artist can you spot
