@llewelyn20 4:30 is apparently my new wake up time!

We know retrieval practice works, but without spacing, it’s not enough. The Leitner System is a low-maintenance way to make spaced practice automatic. Low effort for teachers, high ownership for students. Here’s how I use it to help my students make knowledge durable.👇🔗

If you are planning Inset this week…

Get in, say what you have to say, do what you need to do, get out again.

Give the rest of the time for people to use.

Don’t complicate it.

@miss_latham @jet2tweets Where were the coaches they promised at 4pm! We hired a car! Got to Bham by 10 then back to ours in Wales before midnight. What a bloody mess!

[Vicki Price @MrsPricetweets]

@jet2tweets where are all your reps? Customers stranded at Gatwick and no clarity or consistent info!

Great to hear some common sense this morning from @AlexDaviesJones on #GMB. Obviously a Welsh girl 💪

It looks like this year’s harvest will be catastrophic. That should be a worry for anyone who eats food. If a disaster on this scale had befallen any other industry, there would be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth.

[Vicki Price @MrsPricetweets]

@miss_latham @jet2tweets Hi did you get any luck with a coach to Bham?

Curiosity in the classroom

"Young children can appear to be very curious and inquisitive as they begin their learning journey, and are regularly discovering new things ranging from objects, vocabulary and more. However, curiosity isn’t limited to younger learners..."

To make effective decisions about what to do next, teachers need evidence from every student—not just the usual suspects. Active participation means efficiently eliciting responses from all students in real time by prompting them to say, write, or do something. Check out this NEW one-page guide in my latest post.

Understanding the prefix & suffix of words & their etymology helps students to unpick and decode new vocabulary. E.g. our students know that words with 'ation' on the end are actions/processes. #ClosingTheVocabularyGap #GeographyTeacher

Agreed

In 25 years of teaching, I have never seen such a rapid & fundamental change in the way children are thinking, behaving & interacting. I thought it was Covid but I now think it's the digital age they're growing up in & I really hope people cleverer than me are looking in to this.
