Frequent one-to-one tutoring with research-proven instruction was especially effective in increasing the learning rates of low-performing students. But less frequent tutoring, such as having sessions once a week, was not. @hechingerreport https://t.co/949onjaUZz
Here are simple changes that would improve most direct instruction in math:
a) brief practice comes right after each example
b) write examples/problems before class
c) ask a "what if" for each example -- what if this was +3 instead of -3? what if you divide by 2 first? etc
Really suffering in NSW from a late lockdown. Wouldn’t be in this situation if it had happened when other states would have fired off. Peak not happened yet, unlinked cases out there spreading, and it’s in health care which can be a nightmare.
We said goodbye today to some wonderful pre-service teachers who were at our school. Makes me think that the future of teaching in Victoria is in good hands.
@msrebeccabirch Oh wow! Amazing! Thanks @msrebeccabirch and go @EmilyRCWilson ! I remember learning about Odysseus and the sirens in greek primary school. No argument-stoma is mouth. The argument is with the various translators whose interpretations continue to engage us in this classic text.
