How to direct your students to active reading during read-alouds:
•Explicitly state what you expect students to do before you start reading
•Model those expectations
•A 1-pg article=15 minutes full of active engagement, checks for understanding, and lots of learning.

Hi all!
I am leading on supplementary CPD.
Feedback from staff is that they want demonstrations rather than theory:
- Embedding visualisers into lessons
- Plickers etc
Has anyone got any suggestions or things that have been ‘transformative’ in your teaching?

ATTENTION ALL SENIOR LEADERS

There's something you're probably getting wrong, and it's leading to your middle leaders being miserable. Adam Robbins outlines it perfectly here. Listen in, and if it's challenging that's because it's true!

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

Just reflecting on the extraordinary folly that is and was graded lesson observations. I think it’s the most toxicly stupid idea that has ever been foisted on the profession. Far worse than VAK. .. /n

[Adam Boxer @adamboxer1]

@happyteacherhub @FunkyPedagogy @SusanSEnglish A lot of my stuff on observations is here, and my be helpful. https://t.co/306luo9yTQ

Ofsted's recent history review strongly warns against using GCSE questions at KS3. Want to know more about KS3 assessment? Read this short blog https://t.co/osg0fS4oQb

The sheer amount of abuse that I have received over the last 24 hrs since posting about him is absolute proof that schools needs to be aware of AT.

Anyway. Here’s the first of the dahlia breakouts for you from the allotment as a palette cleanser 🥰

[Katrina Scott @TeachHISTerical]

Amazing books, gutted to be at the end!

[Katrina Scott @TeachHISTerical]

@iHagueBrown Very jealous, hope it was amazing!

[Katrina Scott @TeachHISTerical]

[Katrina Scott @TeachHISTerical]
