@adamboxer1 This is why I think Robert Marzano's idea of a "guaranteed and viable curriculum" is so important.

[Katharine Birbalsingh @Miss_Snuffy]

This is why at Michaela, we hand out 30 to 50 merits per lesson, with the emphasis that lots of those merits go to quiet hardworking kids who can often go unnoticed.

Those kids MUST be SEEN or your school culture collapses.

@mrkdltn Do you have recommendations of timetabling training and which programme is preferred?

[Mrs Prasher @MissPrasher]

We tell pupils to study, but have we actually taught them how to study??

Today I finished off my ‘How to study: a simple guide on how to study smarter not harder’ PowerPoint. Hopefully will help senior pupils learn how to study effectively ✨

@MissVasey_Maths @mathsjem @StudyMaths @DrFrostMaths @gcsemathstutor What about the free Mark Maximisers on @goteachmaths ? They're not grouped by each individual grade but small grade groups. For each grade band it has 2 full sets of worksheets and task 1 on set A is similar to task 1 on Set B to test fluency/retention and increasing difficulty?

[Learning & the Brain @learningandtheb]

You've heard of Rosenshine's principles of instruction.

You wonder if there is any *research* behind these ideas.

@inner_drive has an answer: YUP!

Check out this blog post for their thoughtful exploration.

Number 1 way to get teachers to leave teaching...
Offer new, inexperienced teachers an extra £30k over their first 5 years on lighter timetables and no responsibilities while existing teachers get nothing.
