[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

78 years ago today over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi camp #Auschwitz, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army. 1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over. Today we all remember. We must remember. | #Auschwitz78

My ECT focus for this half term has been on spaced practice with GCSE groups. What strategies do you use within your GCSE lessons to get students to recall and revisit previously taught content/topics?

Children who know more words read better AND think better.

A wide vocabulary improves cognitive processing. Teach your pupils more tier 2 words 🧠☑

Super excited to have my own A-level class next year, but also feeling slightly nervous! Any tips on teaching A-level compared to GCSE!?

Turning to Twitter for inspo as geography Twitter is just so supportive 🤩 wondering if anybody has some suggestions for different ways to teach case studies? Ideally I want to steer away from the usual case study sheet! My class need some variety in a case study heavy unit 🤞🏼

[Amy 🌏 @amygeography]

taught my first a level lesson today on plate tectonics. I put a lot of pressure on myself to make it perfect so let my nerves get to me a bit, but still lots of positives 🙌 can’t wait to do another and improve even more 🤩
