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.

I've been thinking hard about the science of learning for the last 15 years.

Here are 5 big ideas that every teacher should know, and how they hang together.

Just spent the last few days speaking to Ed Tech entrepreneurs in Singapore about just this topic and how Cognitive Load Theory can help with the design of edtech solutions. This thread is great 👇

Attention is a finite commodity.

In any lesson, the more attention consumed by distraction, the less remains available for learning.

First, minimise distraction.

NEW: Sources close to Privileges Committee say evidence is so damning that Boris Johnson could be 'gone by Christmas' if he returns.

One Tory MP tells me any attempt to kill the inquiry could 'bring down the govt'.

Yet momentum builds behind Johnson.
