Over the years my students don't do enough independent study, so I have created documents for them to complete that will continue for remote learning. I set them under the spaced retrieval timetable so they are reviewing. I hope the are of some help. @chatbiology 1/4

NEW!! 1/6. The first one-pager in a new series is on GTT Dimension 4, Element 1 – Structuring. It focuses on how teachers can design and sequence learning so that all students know where they are going, why it matters, and how to succeed. This includes:

✅ Signalling learning objectives, rationale and key ideas
✅ Sequencing tasks and stages of learning
✅ Matching tasks to students’ needs
✅ Scaffolding learning effectively, then gradually removing support

This one-pager summarises ideas and actionable strategies from @teacherhead The Learning Rainforest, @PearceMrs & Isaac Moore’s book on Bjork & Bjork’s Desirable Difficulties in Action, and the @EducEndowFoundn (EEF) on Scaffolding and the Five-a-Day Principle.

@mrsjmasters Could this work as a good analogy for ETC too? It popped into my head when I saw the picture but I would never have thought of using it for that before. It could be like a series of slides.

Look how much I learned on Duolingo in 2023! How did you do? #Duolingo365

@chatbiology Q: grade boundaries we use at KS5. Do you use same grade boundaries for Y12&13 & how close are they to national grade boundaries. How can we can be consistent with expected attainment pathways when not all content is taught. #chatbiology #gradesboundaries #ks5

@duolingo I was in the top tournament finals and your league completely froze for points updates. I earned over 3500 points this week but you had me at under 3000 #duolingoupdate #duolingoissue

@lloyney2 Great. His number is: 07751 885613

[Ms Gill Science @MsGill_Science]

@lloyney2 Do you happen to be the same Andrew Henderson that attended Walford in the late seventies? would you let me send you my Dad’s number as him and David Brooke is trying to track you down.

[Ms Gill Science @MsGill_Science]

@lloyney2 I think you might know my Dad- Mick Gill from college. He is looking to get in contact with you. Can I send you a direct message with his contact details?

@GCHQ our Y9 students are working through the challenges. Any tips for the codebreaking? And the maths question can’t be as straightforward as we think?! #GCHQChristmasChallenge

I’m a Galactic Legend! What’s your Duolingo learner style? #Duolingo365

@ucas_online @ucas_online your advisor hub is not working. I’m HOY13 and I planned to spend my weekend checking the rest of the applications of my cohort. I can’t because your hub is down. Please advise and fix. This issue is adding to my workload next week now.

[Ms Gill Science @MsGill_Science]

@ucas_online are you trying to get this fixed? You know teachers work weekends especially with internal deadlines for applications. I’ve promised students I will give them feedback this weekend and now I can’t access their applications. You are adding to my workload next week.

[Ms Gill Science @MsGill_Science]

@ucas_online is your advisor portal down today? I’m trying to get teacher references checked and I can’t access them.
