🔴 Curriculum: Cognitive Load

Take one worksheet, PowerPoint or classroom resource and ask:

🔴 What should I REMOVE?
🟠 What could I REDESIGN?
🟢 What should I KEEP?

This new Cognitive Load Audit gives teachers the tools to do exactly this.

Try this with ONE worksheet or PowerPoint tomorrow:

🔴 What would you REMOVE?
🟠 What would you REDESIGN?
🟢 What would you KEEP?

It’s a simple way to start thinking about cognitive load in curriculum design.

I demonstrate the process here 👇

🗣️ If your school’s teaching and learning policy makes it easy to monitor how teachers mark, rather than help pupils to take action, what is it actually for?

https://t.co/rtRPSfzfCk

[🇬🇧 TeacherToolkit.co.uk @TeacherToolkit]

When school leaders look through pupils’ books, are they investigating learning — or simply checking teacher compliance? 🤔

I’ve spent almost 20 years refining my thinking on work scrutiny.

My latest conclusion?

Stop asking: “Has the teacher marked it?”

Start asking: “What did the pupil do next?”

If you spend your time chasing consistency, you will always be disappointed.

@TPLTD @Ofstednews @LucyMPowell What ideas would you recommend, Terry?

Separating attendance and behaviour are the obvious. Reducing the number of possible outcomes?

[🇬🇧 TeacherToolkit.co.uk @TeacherToolkit]

What a mess, and enormous waste of taxpayers cash!

The majority of head teachers will tell you that the current @Ofstednews framework was a step backwards.

I don’t believe @LucyMPowell will be able to fix the inclusion agenda using the same model!

Inclusion, SEND and neurodiversity 🧠

Definitely the toughest chapter to write, and record for the new audiobook.

Sharing fMRI research data to understand how teachers and schools can support cognitive differences…

Hardest job in any school by a mile!

Yesterday, I saw my first @Ofstednews banner in the local community. It was trying to communicate:

We are “Strong Standard” and we are “Expected Standard” in so many different areas, I had to slow down in the car just to get this gist.

Definitely NOT clearly for parents!
