Some fantastic submissions for the Outwood Science fairs ‘Flight’ project. It was very difficult for myself and @MrOByrneChem to choose the winners! @OGA_Sci #sciencefair #ks3science #flight #edutwitter

10 Research-Based Teaching Principles Every Teacher Should Know

1. Start lessons with a quick review. Daily review strengthens previous learning and boosts recall.

2. Use small steps with student practice. Chunk new material in bite-sized pieces so as not to overwhelm working memory.

3. Ask lots of questions. Questions provide necessary practice and help assess mastery of new material.

4. Provide models and examples. Modeling expert problem solving techniques helps students learn new skills faster.

5. Guide student practice. Successful teachers spend more time actively guiding practice to ensure quality learning.

6. Check for understanding frequently. Regular comprehension checks identify areas needing reteaching.

7. Strive for high student success rates. High success during practice instills confidence and enthusiasm for learning.

8. Scaffold difficult tasks. Temporary supports like modeling and prompts facilitate learning of complex skills.

9. Require independent practice. Extensive independent practice builds automaticity and fluency with new knowledge.

10. Incorporate weekly and monthly reviews. Regularly revisiting previous material strengthens connections and patterns.

@Mr_E_Morris Well deserved 😁

Mapping out the solar system this week using toilet paper! Students at @HorsforthSchool holiday camp were thoroughly engaged and were shocked to see the distance between the Jovian planets 😮😁🪐

[Mr Cliffe @cliffe_mr]

@juliefslater @OGACADEMY @rubytillyhenry Amazing, congratulations! Having taught and engaged with all three students over the past three years, it is safe to say that they all thoroughly deserve their fantastic grades, as they have worked so hard for them 😃🎓

[Mr Cliffe @cliffe_mr]

@LWoods0722 The link is a fantastic idea in my opinion 😁

[Mr Cliffe @cliffe_mr]

@Rosenberg_Z @OGACADEMY 😁 I hope that everyone who came was able to unwind! Just over a week to go until we can all have a well deserved rest 🗓️

Last term we decided to focus on teaching behaviour explicitly to our pupils.

We had recently maintained our outstanding grade but felt like behaviour wasn't quite where we wanted it to be. We decided to explicitly teach pupils our values.

This is how it went 🧵
