Explicit Teaching
Definition: Concepts are fully explained and procedures fully demonstrated before novices are asked to apply those concepts or procedures
Features that increase effectiveness
- highly interactive
- new material presented in small steps with practice after each step
- big investment in ‘we do’
- whole class response systems eg mini whiteboards, cold calling, think-pair-share
- lots of spaced practice
- pitched so students obtain 80%+ success rate
- as students move from novice to expert, balance shifts to them solving/completing more steps themselves
The ultimate destination is for students to solve complex problems or produce complex products on their own

@HollyNiBhriain@MrTs_NQTs You will get tax and deductions for NI. Depending on the board make sure they haven’t signed you up for a pension (unless you want it) I got a bit back last year as I had been auto enrolled and then opted out
A simple note-taking technique that helped me:
• Finish my dissertation in 12 months
• Publish four single-authored journal articles during my PhD
I call it "Right for Writing, Left for Thinking."
Here's how it works:
Fellow eukaryotes!
Today begins the Intracellular World Cup
There will be 16 first round match ups, every match is a knock out. Vote in each match so we can definitively prove the Greatest Intracellular Structure
No prokaryotes. The microbiome can do one🖕🏽
Round 1 match 1
We want to hear from you.

@MsGee_C I've often used "rewrite the question into your own words". Model it first and get them to do it. Once they realise that underneath it all the question is asking about a concept (rather than a confusing abstract idea) they seem more confident.
I've been putting a lot of time and thought into my GCSE Biology booklets lately. Blog post about the decisions I've made to follow, but all can now be found here: https://t.co/ZEuBjhcTqW
