Teacher. I’m willing to change my teaching methods to the method that proves most effective. Pushing for more of this thinking - for the sake of young people.

I'm curious to know what advocates of inquiry learning think of this presentation I made about how to teach maths. Powerpoint version (videos) - https://t.co/QBG841J7bB PDF - https://t.co/P8Te2sBgy0

A maths diagnostic for primary teachers: every wrong multiple-choice answer reveals a specific misconception — the why, not just the what.

@Doug_Lemov Good to see some comments on their limitations. A big limitation is also students copying answers from each other. This skews how you think the class is going - i don't see this talked about often.

@Emma_Turner75 Refer to your blog for full comment.

@Emma_Turner75 Great point, Emma. At a high-achieving school where I teach we use PowerPoint every lesson (P-12), projecting onto whiteboards to scribe interactively—not just click-and-read (though even that can sometimes work). Our results show PowerPoint can be very effective.

@researchED_Aus Couldn't get there today. Was wondering if any of the talks are going to be recorded and uploaded somewhere? Thanks 👍

@tombennett71 And if teachers don't record incidents and ask for call-outs/removals which is in alignment with what is 'expected' the entire system/culture falls apart. It then makes it pretty much impossible for those few who are trying to establish a productive culture to have impact at all.

@MrZachG At a previous school every writing session for the first 4 weeks was spent teaching how we run the writer's workshop hour... I really wanted to them actual 'writing', but was not allowed to. Terrible

@ThinkForwardEdu I'm an Australian teacher and I've built an AI tool for teachers. Would love some feedback on how you see this tool perhaps being useful https://t.co/JKYA5Nb2oj

I have created an AI tool for teachers. https://t.co/LRwVKqh7AT would love to get some feedback. #aiteaching #education

@AcademyVIC are you the organisation that now run the PMSS initiative? This is what I created as a result of it.

Here are some instructional models that match the presentation

[Peter Boyd @educatorpete]

@VicGovDE this is something I made as a result of being part of the PMSS program. I no longer teach this way, but I am curious to know experts opinions on this

[Peter Boyd @educatorpete]

@Emma_Turner75 I'll have to look into that a bit more as I thought they were trying to measure a more generalised creativity which I am not convinced really exists. I hope you read some of your other books at some stage 👍

@Ms_Bec7 @greg_ashman @jdtdobson @learnwithmrlee If you know of any that are seeking teachers/lead ers in western suburbs/Geelong let me know!

[Peter Boyd @educatorpete]

@Ms_Bec7 @greg_ashman @jdtdobson @learnwithmrlee That's the paper I was thinking of! I'm a Victorian teacher and I'm getting knocked backed for jobs because I am mentioning too much of a science of learning approach. I wish the system was more focused on evidence, but it seems a 'feelings' approach to education is more appealin

[Peter Boyd @educatorpete]

@Ms_Bec7 @greg_ashman @jdtdobson @learnwithmrlee It's a much smaller area of research at the moment. I'm reading 'How Children Learn Math' by Krasa, Tzanetopoulos and Maas'. Worth having a look at.

[Peter Boyd @educatorpete]

@Ms_Bec7 @greg_ashman @jdtdobson @learnwithmrlee screening ideas such as those by Amanda VanDerHeyden and things like number line assessments suggested by Krasa, Tzanetopoulos and Maas). A focus on rich challenging tasks for engagement. However, I find out can be engaging no so much what you do but if you hit their ZPD effectiv
